I can't find method for converting imap utf7 into utf8.
So I have to write several lines of code to solve this issue. May be this could be usefull. Here is no error handling but it could be added.
Usage:
$imap_utf7 = '[Gmail]/&BBIEMAQ2BD0EPgQ1-';
$utf8 = ImapUtf7::decode($imap_utf7);
$imap_utf7_2 = ImapUtf7::encode($utf8);

<?php

For Chinese charset, we can use:
mb_convert_encoding($mailbox, "UTF7-IMAP", "GB2312");
when you want to create a mailbox in Chinese.
OR
mb_convert_encoding($mailbox, "GB2312", "UTF7-IMAP");
when you want to show the listed mailbox with the right charset.

For "Outlook-style" UTF-7, you can also use:
mb_convert_encoding( $str, "ISO_8859-1", "UTF7-IMAP" ); # for decoding
mb_convert_encoding( $str, "UTF7-IMAP", "ISO_8859-1" ); # for encoding

imap_utf7_decode decodes 'modified'.
For decoding Outlook UTF-7 - texts I use --enable-recode and $latin1string=recode_string("UTF-7..ISO_8859-1",$utf7string);
Don't use recode-3.5c.*rpm from Contrib.
recode_string seems to be buggy.
