Hello,
Dovecot 2.2.27
I have a strange issue, where my "Send" folder was absent in my mailbox. It had been there before, fully functioning. Then, it was gone.
I went into: vi /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-mailboxes.conf
And, noticed that my mailbox for Sent was no longer automatically subscribed, so I changed it, and restarted dovecot.
For \Sent mailboxes there are two widely used names. We'll mark
both of # them as \Sent. User typically deletes one of them if duplicates are created. mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent auto = subscribe } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } }
Now, Sent shows up again, but email I send, doesn't show up in the sent file?? The sent file is, and remains, empty.

Uh. Folders do not disappear itself, also they do not become unsubscribed on their own. auto=subscribe makes permanent subscription on create.
Are you sure you have not fumbled with your MUA?

Thank you Aki,
That was it. I would never have thought to look there in 100 years, so asking helps=)
But, now it's all working. For some reason, my MUA had it's setting changed such that all sent mail from all accounts was sent to the Local , "On this computer/Sent" folder.
The day getting off to a good start!
