Dear All,
I have few question regarding dovecot configuration for
specific need which are as follows:-
1. I have IMAP folder with the name Sent Mail and i want whenever
client uses any MUA to send mail from my server his mail must be kept
in server's IMAP folder which is Sent Mail instead of local Sent
folder.
2. Whenever user configures account in MUA, MUA automatically create
some new folder like Junk Mail etc. while i am already using Spam
folder to keep spam message in that folder so let me know how can i
save myself from this.
3. Is there any thing which can also put deleted message in my
server's Trash folder.
Thanks

In Outlook this is under Account Settings, the Sent Items and Deleted Items tabs.

If you are an ISP there is no way you can accomplish this because you have no control over customer PCs. If you are a business, univ, etc, and you have administrative control over all desktops/laptops, then you can implement a site wide policy to control the behavior of the MUAs. There are a number of enterprise management tools for Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX you could use to manage these settings on the MUAs to effect what you desire above. Such enterprise management tools are beyond the scope of discussion of the Dovecot list. If all your desktops are Microsoft you can use AD group policies. If you have mixed Windows and Linux desktops you may want to look at Novell ZENworks. Google "enterprise management tools" -- Stan
