AFAIK they are all accessible from IMAP, however your IMAP client may not be subscribed to all of them. For example, I don't subscribe to the Gmail Trash folder (label) from Evolution because Evo has its own virtual Trash folder which is slightly different (it follows the canonical IMAP model, which strictly speaking Gmail doesn't). poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
