Drafts
Junk
Trash

Some general Notes to start.
First adding anything to these two file locations doesn't do anything I see.
or
In general with the stock install of DA you get folders like
INBOX
INBOX.spam < We don't want this
Sent
Drafts
Junk
Trash
We want every mail client to get and use the same structure of folders. We want them to auto create and auto subscribe.

To do this you need a feature and 90-special-folders.conf.. I took hours to hunt it down (since the directadmin.conf is not centrally documented)
It's here https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1679
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP of all your sites and email. Before trying this.
new directadmin.conf option, internal default to:
spam_inbox_prefix=1 < this is the issue. If it's set to 1 or not in the directadmin.conf it defaults to 1 = INBOX.spam
if you set it to 0, all areas in DA will use "Junk" instead of INBOX.spam for paths. < Here it is we want "Junk".
Set spam_inbox_prefix=0 in directadmin.conf
Now you will have Junk created instead of INBOX.Spam. (Note: Junk is RFC compliant https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6154)
Then you have to go to
Paste below in the blank file(this worked for me)
You can confirm it took by doing
Then copy /var/www/html/roundcube/config/config.inc.php to /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/roundcube/config.inc.php
might need to create Roundcube folder.
find the general section with entries below and set or add to as such:
then
Now go test with an account. make sure you login.
This should give you the structure noted at the beginning.
Hope this helps. Report success or issues as needed.
