Ok. It will not help for existing folders, but will allow creation of
special-use folders with any name.
Yes. And on top of that a MUA should detect these SPECIAL-USE folders and
automagically map its special folders (trash, archive, sent, drafts, etc.) to
the servers SPECIAL-USE mailboxes.
This should take place transparently and the special folders should carry
localized mailbox names e.g. "Sent" or "Gesendet" or "..."
Except the localization conversions should be done on the MUA level,
not the mailstore level (see, e.g., INBOX).
As Timo noted in another message in this thread, for the most part
there has been a informal standardization of special mailbox names to
their English equivalents. There is really no reason to move away
from this standardization, especially for MUAs that do not yet support
RFC 6154 but may support a form auto-detection of common special
mailbox names.
