NIL means "Nothing".
Your mb doesn't have specialuse defined.
{user.delepine.Trash}:
private:
specialuse: \Trash
This specialuse is added at creation by our scripts.
How are they normally created?
Do MUAs like Thunderbird create them?
Hello Marco,
as far as I know most MUAs do not create Special-Use flags on mailboxes
by default. For example Thunderbird seems to detect "special" mailboxes
by checking if there names correspond to the "defaults" from the RFCs -
e.g. Trash, Sent, Templates, Drafts ...
Other Clients like SOGo Webmail have a config option, where you can
state which foldernames get assigned the "Trash" role, the "Sent" role
etc.
As stated by Jean, you can either script the assignment of special use
flags, but cyrus also supports automatic assignment on creation, the
following would do that in /etc/imapd.conf (the xlist-*) directives.
Pleas note: these directives only pertain to initial user login! If you
want to add special-use flags for existing users you would have to take
the "manual" route (i.e. script it with cyradm)
autocreate_inbox_folders: Junk | Trash | Archive | Sent | Drafts
autocreate_subscribe_folders: Junk | Trash | Archive | Sent | Drafts
xlist-archive: Archive
xlist-trash: Trash
xlist-junk: Junk
xlist-sent: Sent
xlist-drafts: Drafts
autocreate_quota: 3145728
HTH,
Alex
