I can understand your reluctance for implementing such a feature. Would our IMAP Mail System only be used with Horde, we could simply translate the mail folder names. But when you connect to IMAP for example via Thunderbird, Thunderbird expects the names in English. Only then can Thunderbird mark the folders with special icons and translate them on the GUI to eg. German. If Thunderbird fails to recognize the sent mail folder, it is not able to store any sent mail. The same is true for drafts.

We know there are howtos on the net on how to configure Thunderbird correctly, but this is not an option. Our clients are Tyrolean pupils who we do not want to burden with a complex configuration.
