Whether there is a problem depends on your point of view. The name INBOX (not the case) is special in IMAP, so client verndors may choose to display a localized name in their interface. Sent Items and Drafts folders are irrelevant to IMAP. There is no automatic way to have these localized on the server side. So, whatever the client does will happen. Microsoft in their wisdom seem to have chosen to create those folders in their localized names. Thus you end up with one pair for each localized version of Outlook you use ... -- Sebastian Hagedorn M.A. - RZKR-R1 (Gebäude 52), Zimmer 18 Zentrum für angewandte Informatik - Universitätsweiter Service RRZK Universität zu Köln / Cologne University - Tel. +49-221-478-5587 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Inbox is the only special folder in IMAP -- the others are just conventions used by the mail clients. If two different clients (OE/English and OE/Chinese) decide to name them differently, there is nothing the IMAP server can or should do about it. -- John A.
