  <title>Mail folder locations</title>

<p>You can set a different place where to store messages in your Draft folder and Sent folder in the <gui>Defaults</gui> section of the mail account editor (<guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Mail Accounts</gui><gui style="button">Edit</gui><gui>Defaults</gui></guiseq>).</p>
<p>For remote account types (accounts such as IMAP) you can also use folders on the mail server for Junk and Trash by selecting the corresponding <gui>Use a Real Folder</gui> option. In this case, Evolution's local <link xref="mail-search-folders">virtual folders</link> will not be used.</p>
