    How-to choose IMAP folders in Windows Mail ? 8d-ACpV_ZDZOL8WkQKniZH56BXXZ9jjrvIKPqRRgSf4.jpg

    Hi there,

    I've used Windows Mail a long time now, and I love it. It's simple, useful and the UI is ultra clean.
    For the issue I'll describe, I use IMAP email with my gandi account.

    Recently while using my inboxes on another device, I noticed a weird behavior:

    I cleaned the unnecessary IMAP folders to match the one provided by gandi (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Junk and Trash)

    On many mobile apps, we can choose the app folders to match the imap folders, but when I use Windows Mail, it creates a bunch of its own folders and doesn't let me choose the ones I want !
    It creates the following :
    - "Deleted Items" instead of using "Trash"
    - 'Sent Items" instead of using "Sent"

    But it seems to use Junk Mail correctly
    - "Junk Mail" should go to "Junk"

    I confirmed this behavior by renaming "Sent Items" to "Send - Old" and a new "Sent Items" folder appeared while using the Mail app.

    Anyone experienced this ? Any configuration I might have missed ?

    Thanks !

  2. Windows 10 Mail App not using correct IMAP sent folder

    Hi there,

    I'm trying to use the included Mail/Calendar app with an IMAP account. While setting things up isn't a problem at all, there is a really annoying bug. It seems that the App isn't using the correct folders already present on the IMAP server:

    My mailbox is configured using the standard IMAP folders:

    • INBOX
    • INBOX.Drafts
    • INBOX.Sent
    • INBOX.Junk
    • INBOX.Trash
    This config used to work with Thunderbird, and also my Android Phone haves no problem using it.

    Now, after setting up my mailbox using IMAP in Windows 10 Mail app it seems like the app is not using the right folders:

    • Sent mail is stored within "Sent Items", instead of INBOX.Sent
    • It seems that drafts aren't syncing at all - at least a created draft isn't showing up in the IMAP folders
    Haven't collected more samples now for junk and trash, but there might be a problem with these as well. However, my biggest problem at the moment is the "Sent" issue...

    So, what to do now?

    It seems like the app isn't offering any option to config a proper IMAP folder mapping. The auto mapping isn't working correctly. Any workarounds? Registry hacks? Whatever?

    Really crazy. IMAP folder mapping was possible in older versions of Outlook (e.g. 2010) and also Mozilla Thunderbird is offering such an option. Is it really true that the brand new Windows 10 calendar app lacks this basic functionality? To me it seems that
    simplicity ("lets keep the UI simple, because we want also monkeys to be able to configure it") overrules functionality? Crazy...

    Any hacks or workarounds? Suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

    Martin

    This is totally annoying.

  3. Missing IMAP folders

    When I was using Windows 8.1, I had all of the IMAP folders from my mail server. When I switched to Windows 10 a lot of these folders are missing. They are on the server, my Iphone and Ipad. When I right click and go to IMAP folders, Query the list, some
    folders show up but not all of them. I highlite the ones I want to subscribe to, appy this subscribtion and click OK. None of these folders will subscribe. I have not changed any settings, added any new software. All of these steps worked in Windows 8 and
    8.1, but Not in Windows 10. I have deleted the PST and account, reset PST and none of this works, how do I get all of my folders back?
