Hi all,

let me ask a question, please. Is it possible in dovecot to set up per user special-use folder names?

Imagine situation with two users where first prefere another language that second.

You don't need per-user folder SPECIAL-USE names, because the client must take care of the correct mapping.

If the client runs in an German environment it might mount the "special_use = \Sent" mailbox as "Gesendete Objekte" and if it is Czechian it might call it "Odeslaná pošta".

That's part of what makes SPECIAL-USE so sexy. It is language independent. All it does is say "This mailbox is reserved for that particular usage." How you call it, is up to you (client).

p@rick

mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent }

for english speaking users and

mailbox "Odeslaná pošta" { special_use = \Sent }

for czech speaking users.

Thanks for your answers. Radek

Like Patrick mentioned this isn't how it should be used.. But it would be possible anyway by returning the proper settings from userdb lookup. Easier probably set both of these in the namespace, then only configure which one will be autocreated (only if both mailboxes are created the client sees two \Sent flags). The autocreation can be made per-user by returning namespace/inbox/Sent/auto=create or namespace/inbox/Odeslaná pošta/auto=create field from userdb.
