Lots of people must have had this issue before me - users using
different devices&software (pc, smartphone, tablet, thunderbird,
outlook, webmail) and languages (e.g. English on the PC, German on the
iPhone), some folders end of with different names - e.g. "Sent"
and "Gesendete Elemente" - meaning the same thing, namely "sent
mails".
How do you map these to just one folder such that it shows up correctly
independently of what the user happens to be using?
It sounds like something for the
mailbox "Sent" {
special_use = \Drafts
}
config directive? Is that what it might be used for?
mailbox "Sent" {
special_use = \Sent
}
mailbox "Gesendete Elemente" {
special_use = \Sent
}

A MUA remains free to do anything they want regarding where they save sent messages. An option is to use virtual mailboxes to map to a single master Sent mailbox. But you then have to define all possible combinations of Sent mailbox labels, so it's not foolproof either. michael
Dear Per, what about using the "Mailbox alias plugin" (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailboxAlias)? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Gr??en / Distinti saluti / Kind regards De Zordo Patrick patrick at spamreducer.eu> -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- > Von: dovecot [mailto:dovecot-bounces at dovecot.org] Im Auftrag von Per > Jessen > Gesendet: Montag, 25.
