As probably more than I have noticed, imap clients use differens names
for special folders.
Draft, Trash, Sent and Templates seem to be most widely used, but
outlook express uses "Sent Items", and uses different names in the
localized versions, probably due to some developer brain damage :-)
(Thunderbird presents localized folder names to the users, but use the
names above on the imap server.)
I would like our users (some 6,500 students) to see exactly the same
folders regardless of the client used. Sure, you can configure most
clients to use different folders, but that rarely happens in real life,
the result being that a user who starts writing an email i squirrelmail
can't find it when using thunderbird, outlook or pine.
Is there some way to map one folder name to another? If not, this is a
feature request that I'm sure would benefit many users. For someone
familiar with the internals it would probably be easy to implement, for
example as
set folder-mapping "/Sent Items" /Sent
set folder-mapping /Skickat /Sent
in c-client.cf. (The latter example is from the Swedish version of
outlook express.)
