I tried the conf/defaults.generic.inc hack. It does create the special folder names in the folder list. However, it does not create the folders for me. I still have to depend on the user to do this through their Options interface.
As far as other folders goes, I have Mercury Mail Transport's IMAP server it it has no facility to create folder files when a new user is created on the mail server. I note that RoundCube does physically create Sent, Trash and Draft folders by default. I'll sift through the code and see if I can figure out how they accomplish it. Perhaps it will offer an idea. Sadly, the IMAP server is in the Windows NT 4.0 environment. I doubt I will have much success in preventing folder deletions through the OS's permissions and still maintain write permissions on the folder. :) I note that the INBOX cannot be deleted in IlohaMail though so there must be some secret somewhere. Thanks for your input. I will continue working on this and post any success resolves I may come up with.
