Package: sylpheed-claws-gtk2
Version: 2.2.0-1
Severity: normal

Wenn adding a new IMAP mailbox, s-c checks if the folders Trash, Queue, Drafts
and Sent exist on the server.
If not, they are created without asking for permission.

The problem with that is that folders for most of these purposes already exist
on my IMAP mailbox, but they have German names (Geloescht, Entwuerfe,
Gesendet). They need to have German names because the mailbox is accessed in
parallel by a webinterface and a voice/fax messaging solution, which expect
the German names, and I can't change that.

So, right now the workflow to use this account with s-c is the following:
- Add the account and let s-c build the folderlist
- Change the folders for Drafts, Queue, Sent, Trash to the correct ones
- Exit s-c
- Delete the folders s-c created on the IMAP server using the webinterface
  (s-c refuses to delete any of the "special" folders, even if the specific
  functionality has already been reassigned to a different folder)
- Manually delete the entries for the folders created by s-c from
  folderlist.xml (even after the folders are gone from the server, s-c insists
  they exist; messages from the server that they don't exist are quietly
  ignored for "special" folders, even though the specific functionality etc...)

Steps three through five have to repeated every time I feel like rebuilding the
folderlist in s-c.

I think s-c should ask on creation of an IMAP account whether I want to
a) Create the special folders on the server (assuming they don't exist), 
b) Use existing folders, local or on this or some other account, for these
   purposes,
c) Not have these special folders at all.

I'm classifying this report "normal" instead of "whishlist" because the way
special folders are handled right now seems not only lacking features, but
broken. I shouldn't have to do all of the above just to delete a folder that
happens to be named "Sent", especially not if the Sent folder functionality is
not even assigned to that folder anymore.
