I tried chinese in postfix+cyrus-imap and in Outlook Express 5, the "Inbox" is still the one in chinese, but the "Sent Items" and "Drafts" folders which I saw in english IMAP client become normal folders, and there are another folder instead of them in chinese in chinese name.
so, does IMAP server not provide a uniform interface? or just the problem of IMAP protocol?
Whether there is a problem depends on your point of view. The name INBOX (not the case) is special in IMAP, so client verndors may choose to display a localized name in their interface. "Sent Items" and "Drafts" folders are irrelevant to IMAP. There is no automatic way to have these localized on the server side. So, whatever the client does will happen. Microsoft in their wisdom seem to have chosen to create those folders in their localized names. Thus you end up with one pair for each localized version of Outlook you use ...
