It's implemented now in dovecot-2.1 hg. It also deprecates autocreate plugin
(but it still works the old way). The idea is that you can now do e.g.:
mailbox Trash {
auto = no
special_use = \Trash
}
mailbox Drafts {
auto = no
special_use = \Drafts
}
mailbox Sent {
auto = subscribe # autocreate, autosubscribe
special_use = \Sent
}
mailbox Spam {
auto = create # autocreate, but don't autosubscribe
special_use = \Junk
}
mailbox virtual/All { # if you have a virtual "All messages" mailbox
auto = no
special_use = \All
}
The mailbox names require a namespace prefix, so if you use e.g. "INBOX."
prefix you'll need to use:
mailbox INBOX.Trash {
..etc..
