Hi Patrick, no i understood very well, but there to my knowledge there
is no solution out there yet to solve your(our) problem ( unless it
would be very wishfull to have it ), perhaps xlist stuff posted here
today may help in the future, but in meantime you ll may have to face
reality *g
after all i only described that its seems not to be  big problem here
and otherwhere,
cause if it would be , it would be solved in the past, and youre not
right, many big mail providers teach their users in "how to use" with
pictured faqs related in using common mail clients  ( tb , apple mail,
outlook etc ) with their meaning about standart imap folders
but after all ,if there would be a solution i would use it at once
lets talk about it on or planed Postfix Stammtisch !
