> hello, I use claws-mail to access my university account on IMAP on windows [the portable edition on portableapps.com]; however, the wizard automatically creates generic folders like "Sent", "Draft", "Queue" and "Trash" some of which do not match the pre-existing default folders set up by the university. Typically, the university's folder for sent emails is called "Sent items" and thus I wind up with two sent folders. In claws, it is impossible to delete the autocreated "Sent" folder but can delete the university "Sent items" folder In my university webmail, it is precisely the opposite; I can delete "sent" but cannot touch the default folder "Sent items" The same goes for the trash folders; they have different names. I know I can put my sent emails in a different folder than the one created by claws but I wish to keep my university original folders and not see the ones created by claws-mail; how do I do that ?   regards

  You have to tell Claws where to put the mails, this FAQ entry explains it
for a specific server (second screenshot), but applies to any server with
non-standard folder names, just use your server names instead:
