Seems that in the interests of compatibility and "doing the right

ensure that either default would give the same result (in a mixed
client setup)?
However, I wonder if someone has already written a plugin to do
something simple like this? More generally I guess it's folder
aliasing, so that Sent == Sent Items and perhaps there are also
synonyms for Drafts/Templates?
Anyone got any thoughts on this simple idea? (The prob with sym
links is a) creating them at mailbox setup time and b) what happens
when someone tries to delete the folder...)

I agree it would be nice if the IMAP server could have an option to
map a variety of folder names to a particular 'real' folder name.
Not just Sent. I have also seen:
Trash vs Deleted Items
While we're making a list: 'Junk' vs. 'Junk E-mail' is a particular
problematic case of client disagreement because some clients (e.g.
Eudora, Outlook) work in ways that are Very Bad when they disagree on
the final destination of probable spam.
