IIRC one the IMAP specs (I've never read any of them, I admit) specify 
that the server create the standard folders .Sent, .Drafts and .Trash, 
with those particular names.

My Norwegian Bokmål Thunderbird 2 client shows the as Sendt, Skisser and 
Søppel; what's more, if I want my Søppel folder to be called Boss (a 
much used West Norwegian dialect word for the same thing), TB will let 
me do that, but then I have to create a folder called Boss myself first.

I dare say the Spanish and Portuguese TBs do the same.

On the other hand, SquirrelMail at my sites won't show Trash etc. as 
anything other than that, whatever language locale one chooses, because 
the authors say that's what it's supposed to be called. I don't know 
what the Microsoft language locale clients do.

So I guess it's a mail client problem, not a server problem.

If you explain the above to your boss, and get him to change his mail 
client to one that uses name that he wants to see, your problem will vanish.
