you should choose one default folder layout , and autocreate and
autosubscribe it with dovecot, i would recommend to use thunderbird
default folder layout, as TB works on all major plattforms
then configure your clients to use these default folders
should be no problem with roundcube, in outlook 2010 this works
without the outlook spam folder,
in windows you can use reg patches gpo etc to auto configure folder
setup with outlook, but the truth is at recent you will not
goal a valid default auto folder configuration for all imap clients
you can only workaround it
