Postfix mailing systems. The protocol is imap. Now, I've
realized that there are no "sent items, drafts" boxed under
Maildir for each users. I would like to take back up Inbox,
sent items, draft boxes. For sent items box, it seems to be
stored in outlook client file which is "ost". The
configuration parameters and version is as follows. I can
see that "namespace" has been configured. How can I setup
to see these folders?</div>

<p>I believe these folders (sent, draft etc.) are created by the MUA
on first IMAP connexion. Can you confirm that these folders are
created when you connect to your IMAP account for the first via a
mail client ? <br>
</p>
<p>If you are accessing your e-mail via a webmail, make sure to
configure your webmail to create those folders for you. For
example, with roundcube the config is : <br>
</p>
<pre>$config['drafts_mbox'] = 'INBOX.Drafts';
$config['junk_mbox'] = 'INBOX.Junk';
$config['sent_mbox'] = 'INBOX.Sent';
$config['trash_mbox'] = 'INBOX.Trash';
$config['create_default_folders'] = true;
</pre>
