Quoting Patrick Ben Koetter <p...@sys4.de>:
That's part of what makes SPECIAL-USE so sexy. It is language independent. All it does is say "This mailbox is reserved for that particular usage." How you call it, is up to you (client).
Well.... not quite. The problem comes when you have *multiple* sent mailboxes on your server, which is perfectly acceptable and quite useful (e.g. an MUA allows multiple identities, and each identity uses a separate sent-mail mailbox). You can't just blindly show the local translation for "Sent" for all of the mailboxes, or else you've now eliminated the user's ability to differentiate between them.
In practical use, SPECIAL-USE isn't tremendously helpful for "auto-configuration" of an MUA because of these kind of vagaries.
