The below configuration seems to work for Thunderbird and emclient, when 
moving a message to Junk. Emclient uses "Junk E-mail" and Thunderbird 
uses "Junk". On the server is only the file .Junk created as expected. 

When I move a message to Archive in Thunderbird. On the server the files 
.Archives and .Archives.2018 are created (Thunderbird creates a 
subfolder in Archives) 

How is this possible? On the server there is already an .Archive folder 
so it should create .Archive.2018 not?
