Already thought you replied and changed the subject of my post ;)
>> A simple question:
>> Isn't it possible to advertise one imap folder with different names, depending on the client?
>> E.g. if the client is Outlook, show the "Sent" folder as "Sent Elements" (translated from german) and if the client is Thunderbird, show the "Sent" folder as "Sent"?
> No.
But would it be theoretically possible? I.e. do the clients report 
themselves to dovecot correctly?

A similar thing is "imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep". If 
what I suggested is implementable then what speaks against it? If I have 
some time I might try writing a patch... Or maybe a dovecot developer 
can implement it, who better knows the code.

Best,


Eddy
