How To Delete Some Imap Folders


DmC

Recommended Posts

Two folders are somehow automatically created in cpanel.

 

One is "spam" and the other is "Junk".

 

Even if I try to delete one of them it's automatically created almost immediately.

 

Is possible to find what is creating those folders?

 

I'm asking mostly as it's confusing. It should be either spam or Junk but not both.

 

Thanks :)

I've had this happen before. The server says one folder is required, but your client goes looking for the other and creates it when it doesn't exist. End result is two that are effectively impossible to delete...server always creates one, client always creates the other.

 

Solution for me was to use a different mail client, though some clients might let you set the junk/spam folder's name in the client so it uses the folder name the server expects it to use.

Is possible to symlink the one to the other through cpanel? :huh:
