Topic: Sent is not an IMAP4 folder

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====

Hello there,

New Created Accounts Can not Attach files and I get "Sent is not an IMAP4 folder" when sending Emails.

Can anyone help me, please?

Since Normal storage on AWS is expensive I decided to attach S3 using s3fs.

I attached the vmail1 folder and made vmail user the owner of the group and folder.

For emails that were created before s3 storage, they work just fine but newly created email accounts throw "Sent is not an IMAP4 folder" when sending email and also, they can not attach files.

Emails will reach the intended account but on sending they will throw those errors. This includes the failed attached files too.

I am using SOGo only as a client.

Re: Sent is not an IMAP4 folder

Any error in Dovecot log files (/var/log/dovecot/*.log)?

Hello Zhang,

Upon investigation on server logs, as stated on dovecot logs, I found the error below.

I guess S3 doesn't support some general file system operations. sad

Re: Sent is not an IMAP4 folder

But why it is able to save incoming emails and all other accounts created before mounting are able to save both sent emails and incoming ones?

It seems during account creation there is a folder is not created.

Re: Sent is not an IMAP4 folder

Try to access the mailbox via IMAP first, MUA should force to create the required folders, including Sent.
