Hey,
I've understood that the courier-mailserver implements IMAP
correctly and that it is the MUAs error, that all folders are
displayed as subfolders of INBOX. What I am trying to find is a
serverside solution for this problem. I want to know if anybody
managed to configure courier in a way, that lets thunderbird or
outlook recognize all folders in the correct way and choose the right
sent and deleted folders from the beginning on. Is there some kind of
autoconfiguring function? Every hint is appreciated.
There's nothing to configure on the server. The server implements the
IMAP NAMESPACE extension, that tells the client how the server's
folders are arranged, however it's the IMAP client's responsibility to
use it. The server cannot force the client to do anything.
Last time I checked Thunderbird configures itself automatically,
properly, and all folders are visible. I don't recall if the special
folders get automatically set up, if not it's a simple configuration
setting.

thanks for you answer, my thunderbird recognizes the spezial folders,
but they are all subfolders of Inbox.
So how do mailproviders like google, yahoo and smaller providers ensure
that people do not have to do extra work to use their email accounts?
Are they using other mailservers? (At google and yahoo I am sure they
do, but their are smaller providers) Or do they use some way of
autoconfiguration?
My problem is, that I am going to provide mail services for about 100
people soon, and I dont want to explain to everyone of these 100 people
how to configure their MUA, so what I am searching for is an email
solution working out of the box. Any idea how I can solve this problem?
