I don't think that moving messages to invisible folders is more user friendly.

What do you consider correct behavior here? Use the folder for drafts/spam even if it's not subscribed? Seems to me that ignoring folders that aren't subscribed to is technically correct, but obviously it's at least a little user-unfriendly...

OK, more clarification. The problem seems to be related to subscriptions. If the folder is subscribed to, then the system will recognize the settings. Otherwise the setting is not recognized, and for example saving a message as a "draft" fails unless the folder is subscribed to. Sorry for not being more clear about this in my original report!

My bad... two things I got wrong in my original report. The problem settings are "drafts" and "trash" folder (not spam), and the settings are created in the database but simply are not listed in options, even if the user logs off and back on.

Do other preferences work properly?

Using IMP: H3 (4.2-cvs), last updated today. For individual users trying to set "Spam" and "Trash" folders, if the folders already exist the feedback appropriately states this but then says the setting have been updated. However, the update does not actually happen and the preference is never actually set. Checking the horde database (mysql) shows the new preference is never set there.
