Hi all, im experimenting with the IMAP SPECIAL-USE setting. Works fine, except for one thing.
I think it’s a little weird that you can actually set and save a different special folder in preferences if that specific special folder is already set by IMAP SPECIAL-USE. Roundcube will detect a different special-use folder on the next login, and modify it back. This can create confusing preference-setting loops for the user, resulting in support request.
Wouldn’t it be possible to detect this before allowing the user to modify the special folder?

Oh, i just realised you can probably just add the folder(s) to dont_override. I suppose thats the recommened method?

I think the more logical method is to allow for user-overrides. AFAIK SPECIAL-USE is an advice to the client, not a must. Or maybe allow for both through a config setting. Either allow user-settings to override special-use, or force the special use folders (but then dont allow the preferences to try to override them and silently fail).
