Yes. It should solve some problems, but I think that only wide-use of
SPECIAL-USE is a solution for this. Also.... I don't use current version
of dovecot, but from reading this list I remember that SPECIAL-USE
implementation in dovecot is read-only. What I'd like to see is
possibility to set special-use flags by the client - no server
configuration required. It means, when user connects to his mailbox for
the first time and special folders doesn't exist, the client (supporting
SPECIAL-USE) can create folders according to its configuration and set
their special-use flags. Or at any time when it find that special folder
doesn't exist.
