Maccoy function's isn't reliable 'cause it doesn't follow the RFC 2060. It will work fine for most latin chars (which, in base64, will turn into "+A..."), but for other language it can make a big mess. If you're using an internationalizated system, try using the other presented options.

Note that php4 (4.4.0) will encode IMAP folders in a way that no other program will be able to decode them back.
$ php4 <<EOF
> <?php
> echo "ENCODED: " . imap_utf7_encode(") . "\\n";
>
?>
> EOF
ENCODED: &w5w-

Now try to decode the result string ("&w5w-") using e.g. javamail or python's imaplib, or if you don't like these languages - create an IMAP folder using PHP and try to display it in an IMAP client (mutt, thunderbird, outlook, whatever...)

For those who search for a good implementation of modified UTF-7 encoding for IMAP, you can find a code that works on :
http://tananyag.ntszki.hu/mail/functions/imap_utf7_local.php
The result is different from imap-utf7-encode() function and is identical to mailbox name generated by Thunderbird.

This encoding will not work for cyrus imapservers and you might have problems with other mail clients.
Use mb_convert_encoding($str, "UTF7-IMAP","ISO-8859-15") instead.

ps: mb_convert_encoding() requires   building php with  --enable-mbstring option
