Dear Dovecot List, probably everyone knows the problem that different clients use different names for "Sent", "Trash" and so on. A simple question: Isn't it possible to advertise one imap folder with different names, depending on the client? E.g. if the client is Outlook, show the "Sent" folder as "Sent Elements" (translated from german) and if the client is Thunderbird, show the "Sent" folder as "Sent"? Best regards, Eddy Ilg

We sponsored SPECIAL USE in Dovecot and in Thunderbird. Timo implemented it in Dovecot autumn 2011 and Ben Bucksch added SPECIAL USE support in Mozilla shortly after. Sadly Mozilla has decided to turn Thunderbird down - i.e. hand it over to some 'community' - and I am not sure our contribution it will be released as Mozilla claims they will not add any new features anymore. IF they would you could tell Dovecot to name the SPECIAL USE folders like Outlook expects them and Thunderbird to map its folder on top. p at rick -- state of mind () http://www.state-of-mind.de Franziskanerstra?e 15 Telefon +49 89 3090 4664 81669 M?nchen Telefax +49 89 3090 4666 Amtsgericht M?nchen Partnerschaftsregister PR 563
