I fixed a value in Postfixadmin and it looks kind of like the folders are being created properly.

When I log directly into dovecot I get:

c list "" *

• LIST (\HasNoChildren \Sent) "." Sent
• LIST (\HasNoChildren \Trash) "." Trash
• LIST (\HasNoChildren \Drafts) "." Drafts
• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." Spam
• LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." INBOX c OK List completed.

But why does not Spam have some \something like the ones above it?

thanks

Traditionally I have used 'Spam' as the folder name for all those emails that get tagged as, well Spam.

But it seems that the standard is now 'Junk' as from 15-mailboxes.conf

#special_use =

If I have in local.conf

# 15-mailboxes.conf

namespace inbox { mailbox Spam { special_use = \Junk } }

This would auto make Spam, but:

Would Junk (and all the others specified in 15-mailboxes.conf) still get created?

What actually controls which folders get created?
