There's a lot of variables here that only you can determine.  First
thing to check is the difference between accounts (or how they are
being used) that have those folders and ones that don't.  Perhaps the
script that created the bulk accounts created folders at the same time
and the other script did not, leaving it to the user or the user's
mail client to do so.  SquirrelMail tries to create those folders if
they don't exist, depending on this setting in the configuration tool:

3. Folder Defaults ==> 16. Auto Create Special Folders

If some of your users are using Outlook or Thunderbird or some other
mail client, those tools may or may not have their own ways of
creating such folders.
