Change default IMAP folder names

---

Hello everybody.

I'm absolutely new to this topic as the HD mini is my first smart phone and maybe this is an absolute trivial question, but I did not find an answer:

Is it possible to change the default IMAP folder names the phone's client is using?
I unfortunately can't switch the complete phone's language to English but I definitely need this for the IMAP folders.

Is there a solution to have "INBOX", "SENT" (or is it "SENT-ITEMS"?) and "DRAFTS" also for non-English systems?

Thank you for your time and answers.

Arno

Hello Arno,

As far as I know, this is not possible. I have looked for a way to change the default IMAP root directory (e.g. /imap instead of / or /INBOX) but I never found a solution.

It is probably not what you need but the only thing I found is that it is possible to use a custom port for a server: just add ":Port#" at the end of its address. This partially solved my problem since our sysadmin has been kind enough to run another IMAPS server on port 10993 (instead of the standard IMAPS port which is 993) through which I am able to access to ~/imap as my IMAP root instead of ~/ (my IMAP root is in my UNIX account home directory).

Regards,

That's a pity darthrider. I doubt that "smart phone" is the right wording if something simple like this isn't possible.

My mail provider is neither able nor willing to introduce some symbolic links (e.g. map "Gesendete Objekte" and "Sent Items" to the same folder). And while Outlook, Thunderbird and my web mail client are able to configure it as wanted, the most important software (my phone which was bought to replace Thunderbird and web mail) isn't.

At least I've learned something. Maybe 7 will introduce this possibility...

Nevertheless thank you for your response
