My bad. Here it is.

There is no attachment.

We have an updated patch (attached)  that adds a prefs.php object 
(should the pseudo default folders be translated or not).



That way, people wanting the old behavior could have it.

Added to IMP 5.

I would have been quite happy if stumbled earlier over this ticket! 
Thanks for the patch, this is the correct way of solving this issue.



For Horde devs: before committing (I really hope you're doing so ;-)) 
please have a look at translation files - there is an 
IMAP_UTF7-encoded string at least in German translation (Drafts). As a 
quick grep told me German seems to be the only translation handling 
current default preference "correctly", Slovak, French and Turkish 
also contain special chars in folder translations, but are not using 
IMAP_UTF7 encoding. This is probably also true for Traditional Chinese 
and Japanese - but I'm not so used to this languages / encodings to 
give a competent statement ;-)



Cheers,

Thomas

Patch tested and it's working very well.



Thank you Massimiliano.

Here is a patch that solves the isuue:



You also have to set in imp prefs.php



// sent mail folder

$_prefs['sent_mail_folder'] = array(

     // The mailbox value must be encoded in the UTF7-IMAP charset (see RFC

     // 3501 [5.1.3]). For Exchange, uncomment the entry below and remove the

     // default value entry.

     // 'value' => 'Sent Items',

     'value' => "Sent",

//    'value' => _("Sent"),

     'locked' => false,

     'shared' => false,

     'type' => 'implicit');



// drafts folder

$_prefs['drafts_folder'] = array(

     // The mailbox value must be encoded in the UTF7-IMAP charset (see RFC

     // 3501 [5.1.3]).

     'value' => "Drafts",

//    'value' => _("Drafts"),

     'locked' => false,

     'shared' => false,

     'type' => 'implicit');



// trash folder

$_prefs['trash_folder'] = array(

     // The mailbox value must be encoded in the UTF7-IMAP charset (see RFC

     // 3501 [5.1.3]). For Exchange, uncomment the entry below and remove the

     // default value entry.

     // 'value' => 'Deleted Items',

     'value' => "Trash",

//    'value' => _("Trash"),

     'locked' => false,

     'shared' => false,

     'type' => 'implicit');



// spam folder

$_prefs['spam_folder'] = array(

     // The mailbox value must be encoded in the UTF7-IMAP charset (see RFC

     // 3501 [5.1.3]).

     'value' => "Spam",

//    'value' => _("Spam"),

     'locked' => false,

     'shared' => false,

     'type' => 'implicit');

Accepted, due to popular request. See the mailing list archives.

Hello,



In many webmails, mail clients, we can define a translated name for 
pseudo-standard IMAP folders like

"Inbox", "Sent", "Draft", "Junk", and "Trash"



In result, we got the same defaults folders for all theses things into 
the webmail and with our mail client (like Thunderbird for example).



But it's not possible with IMP.

In IMP we got only 2 choices :



Choice 1 => Use the translated name

With this setting, the folder's names in the UI are well translated 
but translated names are used too by the IMAP backend.

So if you use the UI one time in french and one time in german, IMP 
will create 2 IMAP folders : "Envoyés" and "Gesendet"

And when you switch with an e-mail client you will see 3 IMAP folders 
:"Sent", "Envoyés" and "Gesendet".

A bit confusing.



Choice 2 => Force the folder's name in the "pref.php"

Now all users will get the same folder for the webmail and the e-mail 
client but IMP will display them with their english name whatever the 
language you are using for the UI in IMP.



Can we just add, for all theses "pseudo-standard" forders, an option 
to map translated names to real imap folders ?



Regards,

Benoit Poulet.
