I *think* this is fixed in IMP 5 with the changes made in Ticket ~~#7545~~. As of IMP 5, the default folder names can no longer be 8 bit in prefs.php - they MUST be in UTF7-IMAP. All translation is done in the IMP libraries.

Please consider the first part of my report, where I state that the default name in French does not work. I'm going to have to agree with this statement. Why is the Sent default (and Drafts, Trash, and Spam) a gettext string when there is no guarantee that the gettext strings won't contain 8bit chars? It's fine for it to contain 8bit characters. But it look like we are missing some conversion. 8bit chars in the drafts folder don't cause any problems, in the sent-mail folder they do. It doesn't help to convert the folder names in conf/prefs.php to utf7-imap (which seems the correct solution to me), because then the drafts folder no longer works. Looks like we are missing a conversion somewhere, or have one too much, depending on the point of view.

Please consider the first part of my report, where I state that the default name in French does not work. I'm not free to choose a different name. I'm forced to do so, else it just doesn't work. It might be a simple encoding issue of the translated name. ~~#7545~~ would effectively be a fix, because the buggy encoding would disappear, but I think the default name should work until it's included.

You are free to choose a different sent-mail folder name in your preferences. Otherwise a duplicate of ~~request #7545~~.

After installing and configuring successfully Horde 3.3 / IMP 4.3, then logging in in French, I tried to send an email. The window that opened said the email was going to be saved in the "Envoy??" folder (instead of "Envoyés"). When it tried to create the folder, it failed, since the name was not valid. As a proper workaround, I modified the prefs.php file this way: 263c263 < 'value' => _("Sent"), --- 'value' => 'Sent', It now works, and the name of the folder is the same as the one used by Thunderbird. Shouldn't it work as TB does? Ie, have always the same underlying name for the folder ("Sent"), then translate it only in the GUI, so it stays the same whatever the language and MUA chosen?
