Squirrelmail has created its special folders of: inbox.sent, inbox.drafts, or inbox.trash To be more descriptive: - I open Squirrelmail, the left pane shows Squirrelmail's "special folders" at the top; inbox.sent, inbox.drafts, or inbox.trash - I click compose and send a test email. - I look in Squirrelmail's inbox.sent folder and I see a copy of my test email. - I close Squirrelmail and Open Outlook. - In Outlook I see the inbox.sent folder. - When I click on the inbox.sent folder to view the folder's contents, the inbox.sent folder is empty - In Squirrelmail I see the contents of the inbox.sent, in Outlook I don't. As an additional test, I just installed Pegasus 4.3.1 Email program. I setup Pegasus to connect to our IMAP server. Pegasus can view the contents of the Squirrelmail inbox.sent folder. I believe there is a bug with Squirrelmail & Outlook. I understand that Oulook is probably not following industry standards. I am just wondering if anyone else has ran into this issue and come up with a workaround?

UW uses different folder delimiter. UW configuration preset (conf.pl -> D -> uw) uses different folder names. Please note that SquirrelMail uw preset uses 'mail/' folder prefix and it might hide other folders, if you currently use empty folder prefix. > Additional Info: > > IMAP Server - UW IMAP > We ran test 8 and all folders show as working. > > After further tests I would like to add the following info: 1.
