dovecot - Apr 2011 - Dovecot Folder Creation Problem

Hi all,

 

I installed Dovecot-Postfix as an IMAP mail server and also RoundCube as
webmail. When I create an account using Postfix Admin and login to webmail,
roundCube creates the Junk Mail, Deleted Emails folder automatically. I also
added this account to my Microsoft Outlook 2007. Following some tutorials on
the internet I created an Outlook rule to move the sent emails to the IMAP
server's sent mail folder. When I  send an email, the email disappears from
the default sent items of Outlook but it doesn't appear on the IMAP
server's
sent items folder.

 

Do I have to set some kind of other permissions on the IMAP server to fix
this problem? My version of Dovecot is 1.2.16.

 

I want my clients use Microsoft Outlook and reach all received and sent
emails via webmail anywhere they go.

 

Many thanks

Ceyhun

you should choose one default folder layout , and autocreate and
autosubscribe it with dovecot, i would recommend to use thunderbird
default folder layout, as TB works on all major plattforms
then configure your clients to use these default folders
should be no problem with roundcube, in outlook 2010 this works
without the outlook spam folder,
in windows you can use reg patches gpo etc to auto configure folder
setup with outlook, but the truth is at recent you will not
goal a valid default auto folder configuration for all imap clients
you can only workaround it

Outlook 2007+ no longer requires you to create that rule, you can now
just tell it which IMAP folder to save the Sent mail to:
