In my opinion, this should have been made a standard the same way the Inbox is standard. At this point, different mail programs have different sets of default Sent, Drafts, and Trash folders -- and in other languages, translations of those as the folder names -- that formal standardization isn't possible. The most common are "Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Trash", but then there's "Sent Items" and "sent-items", too! And "Junk" / "Junk Mail" / "Spam" as well!
So, what specifically is the user experience problem you have in Outlook? (And what versions of Outlook are you using?) As for RoundCube, I'm sure that the default set of folders can be made configurable. I'm actually composing this reply in RC, and I see "Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Junk, Trash" as the first five items in my mail folder list. I don't know if it would have auto-created those folders for me if I didn't already have them, though. Aaron On Wed, 18 Feb 2009 19:04:19 +0200, Matiss <m...@inbox.lv> wrote: > Hey, > Here's a thing.
