dovecot - Nov 2011 - MUAs creating different "Sent" folders

While our webmail installation creates "Sent" as a Sent-Items Folder,
Apple Mail creates "Sent Messages".

Is there a way of "mapping" foldernames e.g.

map "Sent Messages" to "Sent"
map "Deletes Messages" to "Trash"
and so on?

There's an RFC, but it hasn't been adopted yet. Neither by IMAP servers
nor by
IMAP clients. ;)

With v2.1 it would be somewhat easy to create a plugin that supports aliases,
but each client would still see each others' Sent boxes and possibly
synchronize everything twice..

none mua have it hardcoded folder names, just diff defaults :(

Hi,

I know this might be a bit off topic, but having just fixed the problem on my
machine, I though I might share it: on Mac OS Lion, with Apple Mail, you can
change the system folders by editing the file
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist (path might differ with older version
of Mac OS).
For each accounts it has 3 entries (DraftMailboxName, JunkMailboxName and
SentMessagesMailboxName) that can be changed to any value you want. Quite useful
when you are IMAPing your account from different systems. Just don't forget
to close Mail while editing this file, and don't do it if you don't have
a proper plist editor.

This can be done as well in iOS, from the Mail settings, in the account advanced
settings. But folders (Trash, Spam...) have to be created before.

Regards,

	Thierry
