Hi,

I have an minor folder problem with Outlook 2019 and german language settings.
Outlook always creates folder 'Entwürfe' when the language is set to german - it's using the correct Drafts folder and not using the self created folder but it's annoying that every user with german language setting have this folder.

I've set this one in 15-mailbox.conf  like i did for other german folder names like 'Papierkorb' or 'Gelöschet Objekte' which are working properly - just can't get 'Entwürfe' mapped correctly to Drafts:
 
  mailbox Drafts {
    auto = subscribe
    special_use = \Drafts
  }
  mailbox "Entwürfe" {
    special_use = \Drafts
  }
  mailbox "Entw&APw-rfe" {
    special_use = \Drafts
    auto = no
  }
  mailbox Entw&APw-rfe {
    special_use = \Drafts
    auto = no
  }


Outlook then creates in the maildir folder:
rwx------  5 vmail vmail 4096 Jan 16 01:55 '.Entw&APw-rfe'

and adds it into the subscriptions file:
Entw&APw-rfe
 
When the client language is set to englich all is ok, but as soon it's set to german Outlook creates this additional folder - and when it's deleted it in Outlook it's recreated automatically after few seconds.
 
Using dovecot version 2.3.4.1 with maildir mailbox format.

Anyone has an idea to fix this?

Thanks,
Alex
