Hi there,
I'd like to know if it is possible to rename system folder such as :
- inbox
- outbox
- sent items
- etc...

1) renaming dbx files obviously doesn't work
2) I looked through the registry but found nothing
3) though, when I opened "folders.dbx" in a hexeditor, I could clearely read
the names of the system folders (in french in my french computer and in
english in my english computer). I don't dare to make any change but I feel
the solution is here... anyone tried before ?

Thanks for your help
Santiago

Those default folders are hard coded in to the system, if you did rename the
Inbox, a new Inbox would be created to replace it.
