Changes to 1&1 IMAP folders, etc.

Heads up 1&1 users:

If you use IMAP to access your email at 1and1.com, you'll need to subscribe to a new folder called "Sent Items" to replace your "Sent" folder, and a new "Spam" folder in addition to a "Junk" folder (if you had it).

If you use Thunderbird, you should get the FolderFlags extension and use it to set the flag on your "Sent Messages" folder to "sent"

You may also need to check to see if you're subscribed to the new folders (if it doesn't appear automatically for you) and you may also want to set the 'Junk' flag on the 'Spam' folder. You'll also want to make sure that you configure Thunderbird to save your messages automatically in the new folder under Tools | Account settings:

If you use Outlook, you have to make substantially similar changes...

Of course, the email from 1&1 doesn't mention anything (read on)...and don't get me started about the whole "2.0" nomenclature (tagging along with "Web 2.0 Expo" that I just attended...that's a subject for a Random Rant)

Email follows:
Dear 1&1 Customer,

Your account and all mailboxes in that account, can now be used with 1&1 WebMail 2.0.

When you and your e-mail users login, you will not only notice the new layout, but also new features that are available to you.

WebMail 2.0 is included in your package for no additional cost.

The login link remains the same and, if you are using WebMail, you can continue to access it from any browser at: http://webmail.1and1.com

For more information about 1&1 WebMail 2.0 please visit our FAQ at: http://faq.1and1.com/search/go.php?t=n49907

We hope you will enjoy using the new WebMail as your primary e-mail program or in addition to your local e-mail client.

Sincerely,

Your 1&1 Internet Team
1&1 Internet Inc.
