I don't see why it should be. If you're using multiple computers it's

Sysadmin could configure global virtual folders (eg. Unread mail, Trash)
and users could define their own with eg. directly modifying some config
file or through some web UI. There are also at least 2 different IMAP
extension drafts specifying commands how to create and modify them.
