I've had many of those utf errors when running 2.1.x.
Danish characters in subject or attachment names usually triggered it.
The postmaster process also usually hangs at this point, and no further pop3 imports are done until it has been forced.
(at least on my Windows install)
As mentioned, running Windows here, so i can't help you with the upgrade instructions.
Should be fairly straightforward, though. Have a look at the UPGRADING file.

Hi Sune,
Changing the charset within OTRS til utf-8 solved the problem but gave me a new one. Fetching the mail from the mailserver results in a bunch of these lines:
Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected non-continuation byte 0x72, immediately after start byte 0xe6) in substitution (s///) at /opt/otrs/Kernel/System/Ticket/Article.pm line 2207.
Even though the mail gets through and a ticket is created. This installation is running OTRS 2.1.5 - maybe I should stop trying to fix this and just upgrade? Could somebody point me in the direction of an upgrade guide?

I see the message too, when messing around with the charset in OTRS.
However, changing the charset doesn't garble my text.
I think that i had an issue like that once, but that was solved in a later version.
(Or was it with imported usernames? Can't remember for sure)
New e-mails as well as existing tickets?

Hi Sune.
Yes, it's an Exchange mailbox, but the message comes from OTRS. If I change the language of OTRS, the language of the message also changes.
If I change OTRS to use UTF-8 then the message does not appear but the Danish characters in the tickets becomes garbled.
It appears that OTRS somehow thinks the mail is in UTF-8 while it is actually in ISO-8859-1.

If my memory serves me right, i think that's pretty much the wording that the Exchange 5.5 IMC uses when it encounters a message with a charset it doesn't know.
Would it by any chance be an Exchange server mailbox your OTRS install is accessing?

Hi.
I'm taking over a test installation of OTRS running on Fedore Core. All tickets mailed to the system starts with this: "This message was written in a character set other than your own. If it is not displayed correctly, click here to open it in a new window."
I have configured Thunderbird to send emain in iso-8859-1 format (which is default, I believe).
I have tried to configure everything on the machine to be ISO-8859-1.
Apache has 'AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1'
/etc/sysconfig/i18n has 'LANG="en_US"'
OTRS has DefaultCharset = 'iso-8859-1'
Everything has been restarted (including the machine). What did I miss?
