I use a default iredmail installation.
We want to use it for Imap/webmail service only with serveral client devices, and so the problem starts...
For example:
- a iphone imap client use/create the directory's : inbox, spam, trash, drafts
- a outlook 2013 client use/create : inbox, junk, deleted, drafts
- a outlook 2010 client use/create : inbox, junk mail, deleted items, drafts
- a android device use/create: inbox, junk, deleted, spam, bla
if the language is other then english you get this (netherlands)
- a iphone imap client use/create the directory's : inbox, ongewenst, prullenbak, iets
- a outlook 2013 client use/create : inbox, junk, verwijderd, bla
When a user use outlook and iphone and maybe webmail then you get multiple directory's with the same goal.
spam, junk, junk mail are the same
trash,deleted, deleted items, verwijderd are the same
How can we fix this ?
I assume its dovecot to handle this ?
