The compose window then selects the first folder of the folder tree for saving the sent messages, which in our case is a public read-only folder outside of the users namespace and therefore the user can't wirte to it. As workarround I have to specify 'INBOX.sent-mail' in prefs.php, then it works. Note: this happens only if the user actively sets the sent-mail folder to "Use Default Value". If a new user logs in the first time and doesn't set any prefs the composed messages get saved correctly in the users 'sent-mail' folder. The used imap server is cyrus-imapd-2.2.13 Wed, 03 May 2006 09:28:11 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3873#t19699 Fixed in HEAD and IMP 4.1.2. Wed, 03 May 2006 14:57:30 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3873#t19747 Unfortunately I cannot verify that this is fixed in IMP 4.1.2 or HEAD-2006-07-20, which I installed under Horde 3.1.2. My IMAP server is Binc-IMAP 1.2.7final. I did an upgrade from Horde 3.0.9 with IMP 4.0.4. The prefs for scope=horde, name=identies contains "sent-mail" as the value for sent_mail_folder, for all users, just as it is defined in prefs.php. This has been working fine with the previous Horde/IMP installation. After the upgrade, sending a mail works, but only with the warning that the sent mail could not be saved in the sent-mail folder. When selecting "Use Default Value" for the sent_mail_folder in a user's identity prefs, IMP tells that this folder could not be created, just as described in the original bug report. Changing the default sent_mail_folder in prefs.php to "INBOX/sent-mail" and then setting the sent mail folder to "Use Default Value" works fine! What else can I do to help fixing this problem? I see that editing prefs.php is a functional workaround, however, telling a bunch of users that they must edit their prefs to have a working sent-mail folder again seems like a show-stopper to me.

With the 2 versions it works for me, but after updating it, everytime I edit my profile the folder INBOX/sent-mail gets created! Thats pretty annoying because the sent mail is saved in sent-mail outside from INBOX (old and correct setting from IMP 4.1.1) Tue, 25 Jul 2006 14:35:11 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3873#t22302
