Hello, Dovecot 2.2.27 I have a strange issue, where my "Send" folder was absent in my mailbox. It had been there before, fully functioning. Then, it was gone. I went into: vi /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-mailboxes.conf And, noticed that my mailbox for Sent was no longer automatically subscribed, so I changed it, and restarted dovecot.> # For \Sent mailboxes there are two widely used names.

Are you sure you have not fumbled with your MUA? Aki
Thank you Aki, That was it. I would never have thought to look there in 100 years, so asking helps=) But, now it's all working. For some reason, my MUA had it's setting changed such that all sent mail from all accounts was sent to the Local , "On this computer/Sent" folder. The day getting off to a good start! -----Original Message----- From: Aki Tuomi via dovecot <dovecot at dovecot.org> Reply-to: Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi at open-xchange.com> To: esteban at little-beak.com, Esteban L via dovecot <dovecot at dovecot.org>Subject: Re: Send folder disappeared Date: Sat, 23 Mar 2019 10:22:43 +0200 (EET)> On 23 March 2019 01:59 Esteban L via dovecot <dovecot at dovecot.org> > wrote: > > ? > Hello,? > > Dovecot 2.2.27 > > I have a strange issue, where my "Send" folder was absent in my > mailbox.
