Also, The routing of mail to the Junk folder should be addressed in Outlook, as it is in Thunderbird for other folders, or in your MDA.

I would think so, caveat being that 'inbox' is defined (and it is). I'd try commenting it and see what happens.

This is the comment in the file 15-mailboxes.conf : "These mailboxes are widely used and could perhaps be created automatically"

I'm not sure what "perhaps" means. In my mind, they/it WILL or WILL NOT be created. "Perhaps" instills a vagueness in my mind.

i happened to grep for Junk in /etc folder and found the term in

/etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-mailboxes.conf

would this have any part to play in the creation of the .Junk folder ?

thanks

hi

qmailtoaster, spamassassin, clam, dovecot

we are facing a weird and puzzling scenario, occurring on all 4 of our servers

out of several thousands of mailboxes around 10 to 33 mailboxes on each server 
has a folder called .Junk created (for different email users of different 
domains) in the same level as Inbox along with Sent, Draft and Trash

./aaa.in/sunil/Maildir/.Junk
./bbbb.com/ani/Maildir/.Junk
./cccc.com/rishiraj.sethi/Maildir/.Junk
./dddd.com/kumar/Maildir/.Junk
./dddd.com/kamlakar/Maildir/.Junk

we are unable to figure out how exactly these were created

further on in case of one email id genuine emails, from both external and 
sometimes even internal domains from within the same domain are getting moved 
to the .Junk folder

the user uses outlook pop3, but the creation of the .Junk is not done by 
outlook since this happens automatically even the night when the user does not 
use outlook and we had changed the password of the account

even if we delete the .Junk folder the same gets automatically recreated.

this is not done by maildrop since these email are not checked for spam at all 
and they are internal emails.

there is no .qmail file under the user's mailbox

this is not done by webmail since mailbox is not access over webmail

so my question is what could be causing this ?
