The experience problem concludes in the fact, that users don't see folders they are used to, like Drafts, Sent Items, and Outlook 2007 asks, where to store sent mail, when sending mail for the first time (thanks for that, MS!) - however I'm not sure what happens with Drafts. Outlook just creates Junk Email, and Inbox, of course, is there. Now, why Outlook wouldn't create all the other folders when even OE can do it, is beyond my understanding. Or there is a button somewhere for that? I guess one way would be to write a script which creates these folders in dbmail DB, and subscribes users to them, this way at least when outlook prompts users to indicate, where to store mail, there will be a folder ready. I'm using both Outlook 2007 and 2003. And, indeed, RoundCube is least of my worries now, I'm sure if I get outlook to work, roundcube will follow easily. :) Quoting Aaron Stone : 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 wrote: > Hey, > Here's a thing.
