Hi all,
is it possible to configure dovecot in that way that special folders do not create automatically by some imap clients?
i.e: outlook or thunderbird creates a folder junk-mail
i would like that such folders are not created automatically or by users
Exactly what problem are you attempting to alleviate? In the short term you might seriously upset some of your clients and in the long term cause a stability problem.
Ok, thanks for answer.
Every user's mailbox has a directory called Spam and Ham. I scan this two folders by a script to learn my spamassassin database. This script does not scan folders like spam, ham, junk-email etc. But some users have such folders in their mailbox so spamassassin does not learn from these folders.
My aim is to force users to use the folders Spam and Ham and not other folders for spam or ham messages.
Please don't top post. It makes following a thread a lot harder than it needs to be.
Couldn't you just make a soft link between the two folders and save yourself and your clientele a lot of trouble? I have not messed with "spamassassin" in years; however, I thought it was configurable on what it scans.
