Hi Marco,


i have no full doc of that topic in petto - but here are some of my typical 
imap.conf settings to solve that at least for NEW / future postboxes:

--- snip ---
autocreate_inbox_folders: Spam | Trash | Archive | Sent | Drafts
autocreate_subscribe_folders: Spam | Trash | Archive | Sent | Drafts
xlist-archive: Archive
xlist-trash: Trash
xlist-junk: Spam
xlist-sent: Sent
xlist-drafts: Drafts

autocreate_post: 1

allowspecialusesubfolder: 0
specialusealways: 1
--- snap ---

For EXISTING mailboxes you have to write the special folder flags by i.e. a 
script and potentially move emails into the right folders.

But even then you have to have in mind that not all email clients support 
this (at least most modern does) and that users might have their own settings 
in place.



hth,

niels.
