but with autocreate and global sieve rules you can implement a pseudo standart i use tbs one and configure horde/imp like tb does it, in my meaning big players have no intension bring up even a pseudo standart cause they want users to use their own mail services and server implementations ( google, apple, m$, etc ) and earn money with it
Yes, they want to. But they also want to create a great user experience for those that do not use web applications.
but as reality shows, if there is a good faq side for your server setup most imap users are smart enough to configure their clients
I know you and I don't mind to search the internet, read docs and try this or that until we find something that satisfies our needs. But the goal I am aiming for here is "out of the box". And that means "a good faq site" is not acceptable (until I have to face reality...).

Hi Patrick, i allready tried it, i see no way to goal it yet, but its common i.e companies that there is only one mail client is supported, so if your server is only for them , there should be no Problem, in internet servers the only client which i support is thunderbird until its widly spreaded , free and for all os this is accepted since yours by the users, but your right having a standart would be very nice, but i dont think it will come ever
Robert, you are missing the point. The scenario I am talking about is a typical, comsumer oriented ISP scenario. In this scenario I am not in a position to tell my users "go read a Howto" and neither am I able to control their client settings.
In the scenario I am discussing right now, I try to find a way to adopt to what they have. Regardless of the client they use I always want to give them a consistent view on their data.
