Hello,

as already mentioned on the mailing list:

http://lists.claws-mail.org/pipermail/users/2014-June/010155.html

Claws Mail seems to have issues with Yahoo IMAP accounts.

I have tested it with Sylpheed and Trojitá in the meantime and it works just
fine in Sylpheed and Trojitá.

It's just Claws Mail which has the issues.

So I'd say this can be considered a bug in Claws Mail.

The IMAP server mentioned over there:

https://help.yahoo.com/kb/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html

seems to have the following folders by default:

Inbox
= inbox folder, called "Inbox" in the english Yahoo web interface

Sent
= sent folder, called "Sent" in the english Yahoo web interface

Draft
= drafts folder, called "Draft" in the english Yahoo web interface

Trash
= trash folder, called "Trash" in the english Yahoo web interface

Bulk Mail
= spam folder, called "Spam" in the english Yahoo web interface

Y! Conversations
= Yahoo messenger conversations folder, does not show up as an email folder in
the Yahoo web interface

When using Claws Mail, the drafts folder "Draft" is not recognized as being the
drafts folder and Claws Mail does create an additional "Drafts" draft type
folder instead.

Also, Claws Mail does show two inbox folders. One is called "INBOX" (all
capital letters) and one is called "Inbox" (first letter capital). "INBOX" is
made the inbox folder type by Claws Mail whereas "Inbox" is a normal folder
type according to Claws Mail.

Both "INBOX" as well as "Inbox" do have the same contents and are basically
identical.

However, Sylpheed is only showing one "Inbox" folder and makes it the inbox
folder type by default. And Trojitá is doing the same, as well as Thunderbird.

Only Claws Mail has this issue.

Could you please fix that issue?

And can you please make Claws Mail make the "Draft" folder be the drafts type
folder by default without Claws Mail creating an additional "Drafts" folder
(Sylpheed doesn't to that either, so it must be a bug in Claws Mail I'd say)?

Also, could you please make Claws Mail make "Bulk Mail" display as "Spam" (it's
also called "Spam" in the english Yahoo web interface and not "Bulk Mail")?

Regards
