Maybe it's because Outlook wants to use "Junk email" mailbox but  
Courier requires that all mailboxes are under "INBOX." namespace, so  
it never allowed Outlook to create that mailbox? When you changed to  
Dovecot you used the default namespace without a prefix, so it was  
able to create this mailbox.
