[Dovecot] ..::MBOX ISSUE::..

Hi everyone.

I have a postfix working with sasl auth and dovecot, everything works 
fine. I just have 2 issues, the first is that if you add the IMAP mail 
accounts you can import all the mboxes on the /var/spool/mail/ which we 
don't want.

The second issue is that there's no sent, trash and draft folder, so if 
we have imap we are not able to store those emails.

Basically I would like to know how to fix both but the first one is the 
most urgent.

I thought it was a postfix issue, but it seems not to be. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Here's the posftix config:
