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.

I can't say I have much experience with such client issues. Your
configuration doesn't look wrong at first glance. Maybe assigning the
special use flag to the mailboxes you don't want is a bad idea, but I am
not sure.
First, you could connect to your IMAP server directly (e.g. using
telnet) to verify that:
1) The SPECIAL-USE capability is actually announced.
2) The mailbox listed below are actually being returned by LIST command
with the appropriate arguments.
Then (or alternatively), you can check the communication between your
clients and Dovecot using the rawlog facility to find out what those are
doing. That may give you some clues.

Stephan.

Will the following configuration work?
1. On the mail gateway, I install dovecot-lmtp and use it to deliver
locally spam.
2. On the mailbox server, I configure special use junk folder to point
mail gateway's spam folder via nfs.
If this is correct, how can I configure special use folder to point to a
path (variable based on email) which is different from default path?
If there is a different way to handle this, I would interested.
If you use Maildir or something like that, you probably can symlink the
NFS path into each user's Maildir.
You cannot configure a "filesystem path" to point to a mailbox, as far as
I know. Maybe there is a plugin for that. But you could create a new
namespace for the NFS storage and use the config
mailbox Junk {
special_use = \Junk
}
in that namespace.

Why would you want to store junk mail on the gateway box and not just deliver it along with everything else? If you do need to have a folder in separate storage, that can be done with namespaces, see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Namespaces
