Hello,
if your brave you may try , no idea if that might work
MFCMAPI
http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/renamedefaultfolders.htm http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/rename-outlooks-default-folders/
thanks, the MFCMAPI way is working, but i'm afraid that only experienced users will have success.
however you are "the man" who tried it, thx
i think about of moving all the special_folders stuff to userdb and let every user decide on its own. 2 reasons.
your choice, i would not use outlook at all, its simply not a good internet mail client in fact it is the client of exchange.
Alternative imternet mail clients are "good enough" now, if sombody likes outlook he better should use it with exchange
1: outlook 2013 and may be other clients only work correct if special_folders on server are autocreated (auto=subscribe). Even when adding the special_folders later manually, outlook 2013 would not use them for current account.
yes, you need to setup new profile then, thats how outlook 2013 works
i had to delete and recreate the account to
get it work again. autocreate and subscription seems to be really needed. This folders may be annoying for users who dont use a "special_folders client".
not to my knowledge, most users are on thunderbird, apple mail , k9 etc since yet ,nobody phoned me here *g, after all, most imap clients without "special folders features" still autocreate their meaning of special folder via imap auto by itselves, and that will stay that way until everyone has upgraded to clients with "special folders features" so this means perhaps never *g
- if microsoft has choosen to not map local folders to serverfolders, i expect a lot of support effort to explain why folder names are like this. even if i decide to use german names on server, there will be complains by other users who wants to have there own preferred foldernames.
Microsoft has choosen to earn money with cloud outlook.com services and on exchange, the have no prime interest in imap
however outlook 2013 does active sync too, as anounced new horde webmail will be full compatible to outlook 2013 active sync version, so for one account minimum you will have mail , kalendar, abook, notes etc in sync , no need for direct imap in outlook 2013 then
moving all this to a userdb lookup is really not in the purpose of rfc 6154, but seems to be for me the best compromise.
i dont know which way i will go, but already tried the userdb-thing. without suceess. I want to know if this will work from pure technical side and deside later to use or to discard this possibility.
A good way to do this seems to be the userdb_import field: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields
i reduced the special_folders part in conf file to: namespace inbox { inbox = yes }
then i added text-field to my MySQL Table mail_users and inserted a text like this: namespace/inbox/hallohallo/auto=subscribe<TAB>namespace/inbox/hallohallo/special_use=\Sent
Also i edited the password_query (i use userdb prefetch)
password_query = SELECT
inboxasuser,password,homeas userdb_home,uidAS userdb_uid,gidAS userdb_gid, userdb_import as userdb_userdb_import FROMmail_usersWHERElogin= '%u' ANDactive='Y'This results in no error but also no effect. Verbose logging did show a line like this:
Mar 25 13:16:49 myhostname dovecot: auth: Debug: master out: USER 3613786113 myuser home=/home/myuser uid=1004
gid=1000 namespace/inbox/hallohallo/auto=subscribe^Atnamespace/inbox/hallohallo/special_use=\SentLooks not really bad, but is not working. What did i wrong? I would like to get this work to have a plan B.
as Timo wrote perhaps a bug
Thanks, Hajo
