Less of your CSI talk! Perhaps no one has complained about this because there is already an outstanding issue waiting for your attention. We have reported it, and you haven't moved it forward. I don't use horde any more and haven't done for ages, which could well be the same as half the people here. You shouldn't close it because your team hasn't started the work yet !

Rejecting. Nobody else has complained about sentmail names in 4+ years, which tells me this is not an issue.

Yes, but he wants year-month, or any other format for that matter. This always annoyed me too, because the folders are not in chronological order. The current format is historically coming from one of the console clients like Pine or Elm. This was intentional (I patterned it after Pine since that was the behavior I was trying to duplicate). Someone will just have to write the algorithms to search for the different naming conventions.

... because the folders are not in chronological order. That is exactly it! I have also come from 3 years of using IMAP under Squirrelmail and ssssh... OutLook so my sent folders are all called "Sent Items-2007-09". The month must be 09 and not 9 hence the user defined format. I'm sure other people have different naming conventions.

The code already renames sentmail folders to <oldname>-month-year.

The first login of each month runs the maintenance which renames the sent folder to send-items. This is for all those people who keep a copy of all their correspondances. Every month I must rename that new folder to sent-items-<year>-<month>. Please can have a user defined option which is used to rename it to something more useful like "SentItems-%Y-%M" where %Y is the year and %M is the month. The same would be applied to the trash folder (see #5802).
