Hi Robert,
Many thanks for your reply. I realized that the title of my email was not explaining my exact problem. My problem is not the creation of the folders. I am happy with the folders created by RoundCube. I am confused why Outlook can't write to the Sent Items folder. Logically Outlook, TB or any other email client must have permission to write the sent mails to the chosen sent mail folder on an IMAP server without any problems. Am I wrong?
Thanks Ceyhun

Hi all,
I installed Dovecot-Postfix as an IMAP mail server and also RoundCube as webmail. When I create an account using Postfix Admin and login to webmail, roundCube creates the Junk Mail, Deleted Emails folder automatically. I also added this account to my Microsoft Outlook 2007. Following some tutorials on the internet I created an Outlook rule to move the sent emails to the IMAP server's sent mail folder. When I send an email, the email disappears from the default sent items of Outlook but it doesn't appear on the IMAP server's sent items folder.
Do I have to set some kind of other permissions on the IMAP server to fix this problem? My version of Dovecot is 1.2.16.
I want my clients use Microsoft Outlook and reach all received and sent emails via webmail anywhere they go.
Many thanks
Ceyhun
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
