This 'new' type of writing defines mailboxes for SPECIAL-USE as defined in
http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc6154.txt.

If your mail clients support it, they will automatically map their mailboxes
for Sent, Junk, Trash, Drafts etc. to whatever mailbox you have assigned the
respective $special_use option to.

If they don't nothing will change.
