[Dovecot] Creating 'trash' folder
This might well be OT; however, I thought I would ask anyway.
Please keep in mind that the IMAP server is Dovecot.
I have a friend who uses Becky Internet Mail http://www.rimarts.co.jp/becky.htm on a Windows system. There us an options under the configuration menu in Becky to create the trash folder on the server. It suggest ".trash" for the name. He is aware that I use Dovecot and wanted to know if that would actually work. He claims to have activated that option in Becky; however, the trash folder was never actually created, or at least he was unable to locate it.
I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this sort of thing. I could gather more information, but I doubt that this really has anything to do with Dovecot anyway.

creating folders is mostly done by the client ( what are your logs look like ? )
but you can also use autocreate plugin
yesterday i tested outlook 2010 , they made sent,draft folder choosabel on imap but still no option for Junk, i wish i could prepare a cross client folder synced layout ( Outlook,Thunderbird/Horde) , faking folder names would be dreamy , but as far i remember this cant be done ,as discussed here before

I don't have logs. As stated, it is not my machine or account. I simply had a friend who asked if I happened to know. Apparently his ISP or company, I never bothered to ask which, uses Dovecot.

No, I can't.

because its not very related which client you use , if there is an option to create a imap folder and it dont works you need logs to debug, either from the client and/or the server if you dont have the chance to get some , perhaps wrote mail to the coder of the client and/or the support of your dovecot mail hoster

In many Dovecot+maildir configurations it's not valid to have '.' character in mailbox names, because it's also a hierarchy separator. Especially as the first character it's not allowed.
ups missed that point *g , it wasnt in the subject
