While we're making a list: 'Junk' vs. 'Junk E-mail' is a particular problematic case of client disagreement because some clients (e.g. Eudora, Outlook) work in ways that are Very Bad when they disagree on the final destination of probable spam.
Correct me if I am wrong; however, there is no RFC specifically detailing the naming of folders. If there is no specification in place, the author of a software application is pretty much free to do as they please. The interesting fact is that while you claim that clients like 'Eudora & Outlook' are bad,
I think you misunderstood me, which is understandable given how I phrased it...
the users of said clients might very well consider your choice of MUA to be inferior.
The problem is not what Eudora does with 'Junk' or what Outlook does with 'Junk E-mail', but what the two of them end up doing to each other's junk when they are both looking at an IMAP account that has both folders.
Guess how I'm familiar with this? :)
