Symlinking should work.


Is it possible to tell courier-imap PER CLIENT which folders to use?


Nope. An IMAP server has no knowledge of the brand of the IMAP client. It's  
just an anonymous socket connection from some IP address.


I do recall some dusty, forgotten IMAP extension where the client and the  
server exchange their software versions. That's it. It serves no other  
purpose, whatsoever, and, like every other IMAP extension, it is optional  
and the client and the server must be coded to use it.

[courier-users] Alternate and extra IMAP folders

2016-11-16 Thread Mark Constable 
I always set up a "standard" set of extra IMAP folders like Sent,
Junk and Trash (plus Drafts, Templates and Archives for Thunderbird
users) but some of our Outlook and Apple Mail user programs are
creating, for instance, "Sent Items", "Junk E-mail" and "Deleted
Items" folders.

Some of these users are not capable of changing anything on their
end other than read and delete messages. Some of them can't even
tell use what program they are using let alone what version!

This is a case in point this morning, this Outlook user can only
see the "Sent Items" folder on her end but when she uses Roundcube
it puts outgoing messages in the Sent folder so both it and "Sent
Items" had messages in them.

~ cat courierimapsubscribed
INBOX.Deleted Items
INBOX.Drafts
INBOX.Junk
INBOX.Junk E-mail
INBOX.Sent
INBOX.Sent Items
INBOX.Trash

Can anyone suggest a sane method to normalize this situation so
there is only a single set of IMAP folders that will work for all
or most client mail programs?

Ie; would it be possible to symlink "Sent Items" to "Sent" so the
users Outlook/Mail program is happy, Roundcube is happy, and that
courier-imap is happy dealing with one set of "real" folders?

Is it possible to tell courier-imap PER CLIENT which folders to use?

How do you guys deal with this situation?
