Sorry for replying to such an old email, but...
Thank you. You just made me feel very old... ;)
I'm wondering how 'Templates' got left out?
It is a Special folder in Thunderbird that you can't delete - and it is very useful (at least in Thunderbird) as well...
I tried adding it in my dovecot (2.2.10) config, but it complained about an unsupported option...
I searched a few minutes, but couldn't find the link to quote here: Special-Use Mailbox names need to be registered. IIRC Templates didn't make it into the first RFC. I am not aware of a discussion that abandoned it either. Probably, if you gave it a try, you can have it added and Timo will add it afterwards...

looks like there is a draft for "important"
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-iceman-imap-specialuse-important-02
guess "Templates" was to "Thunderbird" related

A server may, for example, mark a folder as \Sent.
Any client that connects to such a server can search for a folder that has been attributed as "Sent".
No need to create a new folder "Sent Items" if there's a special folder marked as \Sent. Same goes for clients that insist on calling it "sent" or "Gesendete Objekte" or ...
The RFC reserves a list of special use folders:
\All This mailbox presents all messages in the user's message store. Implementations MAY omit some messages, such as, perhaps, those in \Trash and \Junk. When this special use is supported, it is almost certain to represent a virtual mailbox.
\Archive This mailbox is used to archive messages. The meaning of an "archival" mailbox is server-dependent; typically, it will be used to get messages out of the inbox, or otherwise keep them out of the user's way, while still making them accessible.
\Drafts This mailbox is used to hold draft messages -- typically, messages that are being composed but have not yet been sent. In some server implementations, this might be a virtual mailbox, containing messages from other mailboxes that are marked with the "\Draft" message flag. Alternatively, this might just be advice that a client put drafts here.
\Flagged This mailbox presents all messages marked in some way as "important". When this special use is supported, it is likely to represent a virtual mailbox collecting messages (from other mailboxes) that are marked with the "\Flagged" message flag.
\Junk This mailbox is where messages deemed to be junk mail are held. Some server implementations might put messages here automatically. Alternatively, this might just be advice to a client-side spam filter.
\Sent This mailbox is used to hold copies of messages that have been sent. Some server implementations might put messages here automatically. Alternatively, this might just be advice that a client save sent messages here.
\Trash This mailbox is used to hold messages that have been deleted or marked for deletion. In some server implementations, this might be a virtual mailbox, containing messages from other mailboxes
