Hey, actually I am using Outlook 2010 and did exactly this to fix my problem (after changing the imap root folder to INBOX.) But I wanted to save all my users from configuring their outlook in the same way, and this is what I want to achieve: I try to find a solution where outlook automaticaly recognizes the right folders to store deleted and sent messages into. For other accounts like my gmail account this is already working, I dont know why this is not working for my courier server, but I try to find out. If I find a solution I'll let you all know. martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
