I replicated the behaviour after creating a new Force9 mailbox. though the very basic email client which ships with Win10 will not use the IMAP DRAFTS folder and insists on putting outbound items in SENT ITEMS even if there is already a folder called you are right. This creates a consistent naming convention which most email clients will follow. Personally having created a new email box I FIRST log into webmail, send and email (creates the SENT folder), creates and save an email (creates the DRAFT folder) and the delete one of the above (creates the TRASH folder). which is why different email clients can make such a hash of things if the expected folders are not there. This appears to match the experience that the expected default folders are not present when the mailbox is created. * LIST (\Marked \HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX" Not being able to recall if that was related to the PN services or one of the other email services I use, I just did a test with a new mailbox on Plusnet mail. on other email services of recent times, I have seen new email boxes created and there being no default subfolders. That's not correct, the folders should already exist and they are sub-folders of INBOX. I was previously using Thunderbird on my laptop with no problem, but that was set up as a POP client (but set to NOT delete from the Server) as I only wanted to delete from server after downloading to my tower M/C.Īny help from another eM Client user would be gratefully received, or from anyone who can solve this irritating wrote: I am reluctant to uninstall eM Client and reinstall it as I have another email service set up on it and I don't want to lose all my contacts. I did that and still get the same error messages. I talked to the PlusNet helpdesk, who couldn't help the best they could suggest was that I deleted everything on eM Client and start again. The Inbox is OK but other folders, eg Drafts, Sent etc are marked with an exclamation mark.
(Invalid mailbox name), as shown on the attached image. So far as I can tell I have used all the correct IMAP and SMTP settings, but I am getting error messages stating "Unable to create folder". I have recently set up eM Client as my email client on my W7 laptop.
