I am Dutch and it is obvious that Outlook adds foldernames translated to my language.
That was no issue until a few weeks ago.

So, serverside naming is all in English. No problem. Folder "Sent" (server) is called "Verzonden items" (meaning Sent Items) in Outlook, local.
Now I have both folders: "Sent" and "Verzonden Items". The last one contains all my sent email. But if I send mail now than it will be dropped in folder Sent.
Same problem occurs in folder Trash, which is added after having already a folder called Verwijderde items (Removed items).

I don't get it and tried all possible solutions found on the net, such as starting Outlook.exe /resetfoldernames etc. etc.
Also installed Office 2013 from scratch: didn't solve it. Created a new empty test-mailacccount: same issue.

It is strange and most of all user unfriendly.
The only thing I can think off is that one of the latest updates from MS created a bug in a part of the language-section.
I tried to add my accounts in simple Windows Mail: no problem, works fine.

Maybe this issue is not recognizable in English, but I hope someone knows more.
