Hi

I've been googleling around for hours now finding load of people having trouble creating folders like 'sent items' while using courier. But somehow I can't figure what simple thing I'm doing wrong.

Most of the issues have to do with settings in the clients but as I want to transfer to the courier-imap with 1500 accounts from couple of hundred different companies I can't be true that all my customers have to reconfigure their email clients.

I've setup postfix+courier-imap+mysql which works ok, delivery auth for pop3 as well for imap. I'm able to create folders in my Inbox but I'm not allowed to create main folders like Sent Items and Draft.
In mysql I used '/home/virtual/myname@mydomain/' as maildir
aswell as 'myname@mydomain/' having '/home/virtual/' in the authmysqlrc:

MYSQL_HOME_FIELD '/home/virtual/'
MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD maildir

I't not a rights issue I've tried the most insecure settings just to rule that out.

I think it must be some setting to either disallowing dirs to be created outside INBOX or a for me unknow setting to the imap service from courier.

The only thing I'm not sure about the the Maildir stuff:
'/home/virtual/myname@mydomain/'
ls:
courierimapkeywords
courierimapsubscribed
courierimapuiddb
cur
new
tmp

Now I can image that it would indeed be a problem to create dirs outside INBOX is the root maildir is my inbox, but'wouldn't know how this should be done elseway.

I hope someone can help me out here!!
Maybe just someone having a simular situation working to compare the settings and confs.

Thanks in advance!

The error imap return: Invalid mailbox name.
