[vchkpw] IMAP dot folders

[Wil Hatfield - HVHM Customer Care]

List,

I know this could be a post for the Courier list but since it was brought up
recently in here I figure I may as well go where I know someone has the
answers.

What dot folders such as .Trash and .Sent does Courier-IMAP use?
Does it create these as they are needed or used?

I ask this because I notice that there aren't any created automatically when
creating a new email account.

Your time is appreciated,

Wil

I don't know that is why I asked?

If Squirrel Mail does use IMAP to create them does that mean that other
webmail/IMAP systems would also create them since IMAP is doing the
creating?

 Doesn't SquirrelMail create these using IMAP?

And the fun part starts when you throw multiple mail clients into the mix.
Pine likes making sent-mail, sqwebmail I think makes something else,
Mail.app has yet another scheme...  It's a shame the IMAP spec doesn't
include a standard naming scheme for standard mailboxes.

There's the answer to my question! So IMAP is only doing the creating
because of the scheme passed down from the IMAP client. And since I don't
use Squirrel or SQWebmail it isn't creating the dot files everyone speaks
of.  Thank you!
