Renaming IMAP spam folder to Spam or SPAM?

[OliverScott]

I have had a good search through these forums and have had a look through some of the DA files without any success:

By default an IMAP folder (or at least a link which acts like an IMAP folder?) called "spam" is created for each new email address you add. This is on top of the default "Inbox" (or "INBOX" if viewed in squirrelmail).

Squirrelmail also adds a "Drafts", "Sent", and "Trash" folder to the mix.

Is there an easy way to make DA create a folder called "Spam" or "SPAM" rather then "spam" to keep some sort of uniformity to the naming convention?

I know this is a very small issue which most users won't even notice, but I am a fussy sod when it comes to things like this, and will notice it every time I check my mail!

I asked DA support about this before and was told that the spam folder is hardcoded and cannot easily be changed. I wish that it was Spam as well.

Yes this is hardcoded, if you want to change it, look for:

/etc/virtual/<domain>/filters
and change the folder name there, but if you update anything related to SPAM setting in DA, it will be overwritten.

You may edit /etc/exim.conf, look for filter: and make a custom_filter: to filter spam to your desired folder, say SPAM.

Would it work to copy the template files /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/filter_spamfolder and /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/filter_userspamfolder to the custom directory and then change the folder names in the custom template files? Do these templates work like the others?
