Hi, I'm testing a dovecot installation using thunderbird as imap client. The first user I configured has regolar folders: Drafts, Sent and Trash, and thunderbirs shows each one with its icon. The second user shows these folders with a standard icon, and I'm not able to save email in sent. I cann't understand why there is this difference, and how dovecot manage these folder. Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot Roger

(Providing dovecot -n output never is a bad idea.) If so maybe the first user's folders are mboxes (folders for mails) while the second user's folders are directories (folders for other folders).
