"""
This function converts an IMAP_UTF-7 string object to UTF-8.
It first replaces the ampersand (&) character with plus character (+)
in the cases of UTF-7 character and then decode the string to utf-8.
If the str_imap string is already UTF-8, return it.
For example, "abc&AK4-D" is translated to "abc+AK4-D"
and then, to "abc@D"
Example code:
my_string = "abc&AK4-D"
print(convert_utf7_to_utf8(my_string))
Args:
bytes_imap: IMAP UTF7 string
Returns: UTF-8 string
