The correct solution is to try to find out why the javascript is *not* 
correctly filling the form.

Oups, difficult to see that and to debug. Anyway my patch is OK for me 
and correct that bug. If there is another solution let me know where 
to have a look

The correct select option is not supposed to be set in the page 
source, it is set by javascript on page load.

I've added a patch.



I'm not sure that the patch is good. Perhaps should we add some tests 
to see if identities is locked. For several identities, I'm not sure. 
For me, it's working anyway



Dom

Just a little add,



In "Server and Folder Information", everything is fine, but it seems 
that ingo anti-spam rule has the same selected folder problem



I'm trying to debug now.



Dom

That's me again.



There is something wrong with my setup:

This time, I just modify my signature, and the folder INBOX/ade has 
been created!



If you look at the screen shot, you will see that I have already an 
INBOX/ade. So this one is now INBOX/INBOX/ade



Is there a bug sometimes with the imap separator which is / instead of . ?



That should be imap related but I don't see the mistake, as almost 
everything is working:



$servers['Cyrus Imap Server'] = array(

     'name' => 'IMAP Server',

     'server' => 'imap.univmed.fr',

     'hordeauth' => true,

     'protocol' => 'imap/notls',

     'port' => 143,

     'quota' => array(

         'driver' => 'imap',

         'params' => array(

             'userhierarchy' => 'user/',

         )

     ),

     'login_tries' => 1,

     'maildomain' => 'univmed.fr',

     'smtphost' => 'smtp.univmed.fr',

     'smtpport' => 25,

     'realm' => '',

     'preferred' => '',

     'acl' => array(

         'driver' => 'rfc2086',

     ),

);

in imp/templates/prefs/sentmailselect.inc



<select name="sent_mail_folder" id="sent_mail_folder" 
onchange="newFolderName();">

   <option value=""><?php echo _("None") ?></option>

   <option value="-1" selected="selected"><?php echo _("Use Default 
Value") ?></option>

   <?php echo IMP::flistSelect(_("Create a new sent mail folder"), 
true, array('INBOX')) ?>

</select><br />



That's the problem I was speaking about, the selected options is 
allways default and should be the previous choosen user folder



get old value and make it appears as selected..

No problem.



I believe that the value in identities is used to compare to the list 
of folders.

The folder list contains INBOX/ade (can see the drop down list html code)

But the sent_mail_folder in identities does not contain INBOX/



I suppose (not sure) that could be the cause of the bad selected value



Dom

Sorry, I lost you completely. I have no idea what you think should be 
the correct behavior, how you have set up your server, etc.

Did you see the screenshot?

You can notice that ade is not the default value, and I gave you the 
prefs in my conf and also the dumped values of the database.



Dom

It's a configuration file. If this default value works for you, then use it.

Jan,



You can see how my selected folder is seen

(Use default value instead of INBOX/ade)

When saved, the INBOX/ part is stripped. The default value should be 
INBOX/Sent as you can see at the bottom

$_prefs['sent_mail_folder'] = array(

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

     // 'value' => 'Sent Items',

     'value' => 'INBOX/Sent',

     'locked' => false,

     'shared' => false,

     'type' => 'implicit');

Works fine here, and I don't understand what exactly your problem is.

Well,



I've done some other tests. Sent mail is rather tricky as it's bound 
to identities (that we locked)



First: There is two prefs that I don't understand



One in a value of horde identities and that one is saved as "folder", 
not INBOX/folder which explains why it's not selected after.



I deleted sent_mail_folder, then change in identities and discovered 
that sent_mail_folder gets the previous value of identities



identites:ade

sent_mail_folder: INBOX/Sent



removed sent_mail_folder

changed:

identities:amis

sent_mail_folder: INBOX/ade



Anyway, compose is relying on identities value and it's working. But 
for my point of view, there is a display bug and something that I 
don't understand about that prefs



I wanted to write a perl script to select the right sent mail folder, 
and discovered, that imap clients are awful, and that the prefs is not 
easy to catch (embedded in a php serialize value..)



Dom

Hello,



When, I select a sent_mail_folder, it's selected, and I can see that 
the folder is used in compose. But when I come back to the options, 
it's written  "default value" instead of the right value. The current 
selected folder does not appear. There is no selected options in the 
drop down box.



My imap namespace is empty, and we are using shared folders.
