I have:

namespace inbox {
  inbox = yes
  location =
  mailbox Drafts {
    special_use = \Drafts
  }
  mailbox Junk {
    auto = subscribe
    special_use = \Junk
  }
  mailbox NotJunk {
    auto = subscribe
  }
  mailbox Sent {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
  mailbox "Sent Messages" {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
  mailbox Trash {
    special_use = \Trash
  }
  prefix =
}

Which I think is working as expected. I mean, other than the obvious that no one will ever put any email into NotJunk for auto training, instead they complain about false positives in their Junk and do nothing to alleviate the problem… 

but I sense I’m careening off the rails into a rant…
