Dovecot/Postfix IMAP folder ".Spam" needs to be ".Trash"(RFC-6154)

Rolf

New Pleskian
Hello,

for use with newer versions of IMAP mail clients (Outlook 2013, Applemail, Thunderbird) RFC 6154 / Special-Use describes a method where server and client negotiate which folders to use so there is no need to manually subscribe and match them.
Plesk 12.0.18 Update #43 with Dovecot/Postfix installed needs the following file to be added:

/etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-mailboxes.conf

namespace inbox {
#mailbox name {
# special_use = \Drafts \Junk \Sent \Trash \Archive
#}
mailbox Drafts {
special_use = \Drafts
auto=subscribe
}
mailbox Junk {
special_use = \Junk
auto=subscribe
}
mailbox Trash {
special_use = \Trash
auto=subscribe
}
mailbox Sent {
special_use = \Sent
auto=subscribe
}
mailbox "Sent Messages" {
special_use = \Sent
}
mailbox Archive {
special_use = \Archive
auto=subscribe
}
# mailbox "Archives" {
# special_use = \Archive
# auto=no
# }
}

This looks fine, but there still is one issue: with a new mailbox the "Spam" directory is beeing created. This needs to be renamed to "Junk" to make a perfect client view.

How can this be archieved without loosing Spamassassin to funktion properly.

Thanks in advance,

-Rolf

Is nobody using IMAP? Nobody wonders about the need to manually subscribe to the correct folders?
