Hi, K,

Thanks for your feedback again!  BTW, I tried to copy mail file from sent item folder which is default folder of Outlook 2013 to "Sent Messages" folder of Dovecot.  I can see the mail files in this folder, but I don't see them under .Sent Messages folder like "new", "cur" and "tmp" folders.

You have any idea where the mail files are copied??  

rwx------  5 vmail vmail 108  3月 17 19:55 .Drafts

drwx------  5 vmail vmail 108  3月 17 19:55 .Junk

drwx------  5 vmail vmail 108  3月 17 19:55 .Sent

drwx------  5 vmail vmail 108  3月 17 19:55 .Sent Messages

drwx------  5 vmail vmail 135  3月 17 19:55 .Trash

-rw-------  1 vmail vmail 120  3月 17 19:55 dovecot.mailbox.log

-rw-------  1 vmail vmail  37  3月 17 19:55 subscriptions

drwx------  2 vmail vmail   6  3月 17 19:55 tmp

Mmm..  I actually changed the directory to .Sent Messages, but I'm now in the .Sent directory...

[root@mail .Sent]# pwd

/var/spool/virtual/landscapes-photography.com/koshiro.sakuma/Maildir/.Sent

Koshiro,

Now, I changed Outlook setting of imap and I can see Draft, Trash, Sent and Sent Messages folders and I can see the mail files in there.  However,  I don't see mail files in the "cur or new" folder where is under .Sent Messages folder.

Maybe Outlook isn't going to upload all old pre-existing Sent (etc) messages to server just from your setting the right server folder.

Have you tried sending a *new* test message from Outlook ("new" - after you changed Outlook setting for Sent folder) - to see if it gets uploaded?

If it does, but the old pre-existing messages don't - I would think you'd need to find a way to make Outlook upload *all* (old, pre-existing) Sent messages to server?

Hi, Aki and Kostya,

Thank you for your feedback.  Well, I have set "auto = subscribe" in the 15-mailboxes.conf file.  Now, I changed Outlook setting of imap and I can see Draft, Trash, Sent and Sent Messages folders and I can see the mail files in there.  However,  I don't see mail files in the "cur or new" folder where is under .Sent Messages folder.  

1. The drafts, trash, Junk, Sent and Sent Massages folders are in English.  Can I change to other language in the 15-mailboxes.conf file?

    Actually, I tried to change it, but dovecot doesn't start due to "unrecognized" parameter.

2. Maybe my configuration of 15-mailboxes.conf is wrong.  The current parameter of sent message is as follow.  

mailbox Sent {

    special_use = \Sent

  auto = subscribe

  }

  mailbox "Sent Messages" {

    special_use = \Sent

  auto = subscribe

  }
