Whether there is a problem depends on your point of view. The name INBOX 
(not the case) is special in IMAP, so client verndors may choose to display 
a localized name in their interface. "Sent Items" and "Drafts"  folders are 
irrelevant to IMAP. There is no automatic way to have these localized on 
the server side. So, whatever the client does will happen. Microsoft in 
their wisdom seem to have chosen to create those folders in their localized 
names. Thus you end up with one pair for each localized version of Outlook 
you use ...
