Those lines are both correct.  The MailboxFilters= entry is a  
space-separated list of filter names, so the embedded space is  
escaped; the Name= entry is a single string, so the space doesn't  
need escaping.

So here's the key part: do you get two "Invalid filters test for  
mailbox..." warnings when you open that mailbox?  You  
shouldn't--but if the spaces in the other MailboxFilters= lines  
were escaped in the same way, you shouldn't have seen the  
original warnings, either!

Best,

Peter
