Question Translate IMAP folders in Outlook

Paul Hermans

Basic Pleskian
When we configure a mail account in Plesk the default IMAP folders are as follows:
  • Drafts
  • Sent
  • Spam
  • Trash
And when configuring this mail account in Microsoft Outlook, these folders are not translated to the language of the user.

Does anybody know how to translate these folders in Outlook?

Thanks!
 
There is no real solution to this. It's a client issue, not a server issue, but Outlook does not really provide a feature that can resolve this. The only switch they offer is /resetfoldernames, but that only re-matches the top level folder names to the system language. It does not change anything on IMAP folders.
 
Defining special use folders might work around this in your Dovecot config. Just change the names here:

Code:
mailbox Trash {
  auto = subscribe
  special_use = \Trash
}
mailbox Drafts {
  auto = subscribe
  special_use = \Drafts
}
mailbox Sent {
  auto = subscribe
  special_use = \Sent
}
mailbox Spam {
  auto = subscribe
  special_use = \Junk
}
mailbox Archive {
  auto = subscribe
  special_use = \Archive
}
