Imap folder creation upon first connect

Imap folder creation upon first connect

Postby votan » Sun Nov 01, 2009 11:21 pm

Is there a way to stop AMS from creating imap folders that are set as default in the imap client?
Anytime a new user connects for the first time with his imap client to AMS, AMS automatically creates all the folders the client has set as it's default folders. So if AMS creates a default set of inbox,send,junk,trash but the client has default values like incoming,outgoing,junkmail,deleted The account then automatically has 8 folders instead of the needed 4....

The only real way to do this would be to add an option to disable creation of folders within the group settings. This of course would be quite limiting to users who would like to add there own personal folders such as "Work Mail", "Photos"...etc. However, this is indeed an annoying issue especially when the same user accesses IMAP4 from different client products. I have noted that such an option be added in the future update.
