      The IMAP server I am connecting to for my work email uses an IMAP root folder or IMAP server directory. Without specifying this root folder, the Vivaldi Email client does not show the correct list of folders of my email account. Thunderbird lets you specify the root folder under advanced server settings:

      (the image is from our IT department's setup guide for Thunderbird)

      I have searched for similar settings in Vivaldi, but couldn't find any. Is there any way to specify the IMAP server directory?

      @offdutywizard not possible to set in Vivaldi, the server should just tell Vivaldi what the special IMAP folders are. There's currently a bug (fix on the way) where Vivaldi uses incorrect IMAP folders, please see https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/94185/two-sent-folders/46?_=1719178370888 and let us know if that sounds like the issue you see

      Usually on Win11 running Vivaldi Snapshot builds. Opinionated about working efficiently with email. Folders are evil | Mail workflow: receive, read, reply, mark as read, done.

      @WildEnte , the missing setting mentioned by @offdutywizard is not:

      • related to special-use attribute of mailboxes
      • nor is it retrievable by client

      Maybe should consider reporting as a bug?

      @offdutywizard Is there a solution here in the meantime - e.g. any hidden setting options?

      I have the similar problem that the standard directories of an email account (Sent, Drafts, Trash, etc.) are displayed once parallel to the Inbox and once as subfolders of Inbox, depending on the IMAP server. Not dramatic - but not nice either.

      There is no setting to change the IMAP mailbox names and Namespace. I think, the mail client can an should detect the correct (server-sided pre-defined) ones.
