In general YES !

Any microsoft email imap client past Outlook 2010 justdoes not handle imap properly

Windows mail seems not to be too bad for small accounts.

there is no IDLE support (ie auto update changes)

You need to adjust the mailbox timing down from the default 30 minutes to like 5 in order for the email to update semi-live

imap will work and map the trash folders etc ok

however it is basically non-functional for the rest.

Basically any inbox above 500 or so messages will slow to a halt.

If you have to make it work you can fiddle with the settings and it will work (kind of)

you are better off using another email client like thunderbird which fully supports imap / dovecot across several devices ?

Other option is to look at an exchange proxy/emulator like sogo but that comes with a wack of setup and other complications.

These comments come from years of being an isp (fyi)



Happy Sunday !!!

Could be as simple as not having a trash folder mapped in Outlook. Any error messages?

Are there any known Idssues?

I help set up a client this morning using Win11 and Dovecot
and the client cannot delete e-mail like he did previously.
