Topic: Auto create alias Sent-folders

==== Required information ====

Different email clients uses different sent-folders.

Some clients uses ".Sent" and some ".Sent Messages".

I'm setting up one sent-folder by using alias.

ln -s .Sent ".Sent Messages".

Is there any way to automate this by adding the alias when the user is created?

Try this:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings

Maybe it's a good idea to have this plugin enabled by default?

Re: Auto create alias Sent-folders

Well, i updated sample config file for Dovecot-2.2, so all supported Linux/BSD distributions which use Dovecot-2.2 will has two new alias mailboxes:

- "Sent Messages" for 'Sent' folder
- "Spam" for 'Junk' folder

This will be available in next release of iRedMail.

When i see the differences between dovecot2.conf and dovecot22.conf in the iRedmail/samples directory, i see that the only changes are specific for these autocreate and alias folders.. But when I read the documentation on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings it says that since 2.1 these settings could be applied.

So is it also possible to use these dovecot22.conf in dovecot 2.1.7? If not, what do you suggest to resolve this? I'd rather not update dovecot to 2.2 because I like the stable versions Debian wheezy suggests..
