I don't quite understand why there's a spam folder in my inbox. Can anyone help me figure it out?
 
How is your Spam Assassin setup? If I recall correctly the default setting is to put spam into that sub-folder and it gets created when you turn on Spam Assassin.
 
The configuration is the one that comes by default when activated with CB. What should I do to place it in a separate folder?
 
Hello,

It is done per the Dovecot's default configs (all special folders are created in INBO namespace):

Bash: 
# cat /etc/dovecot/conf/namespace_private.conf
namespace inbox {
    type = private
    separator = .
    prefix =
    inbox = yes

    mailbox Drafts {
        special_use = \Drafts
        auto = subscribe
    }

    mailbox Junk {
        special_use = \Junk # autocreate Junk, but don't autosubscribe
        auto = create
        fts_autoindex = no
    }

    mailbox spam {
        special_use = \Junk
        auto = no
        fts_autoindex = no
    }

    mailbox Spam {
        special_use = \Junk
        auto = no
        fts_autoindex = no
    }

    mailbox Trash {
        special_use = \Trash
        auto = subscribe
        fts_autoindex = no
    }

    mailbox Sent {
        special_use = \Sent
        auto = subscribe
    }

    mailbox "Sent Messages" {
        special_use = \Sent
        auto = no
    }

    mailbox "Sent Items" {
        special_use = \Sent
        auto = no
    }

    mailbox Archive {
        special_use = \Archive
        auto = no
    }

    mailbox "Archives" {
        special_use = \Archive
        auto = no
    }
}

Yo Do you mean it's by default? It's the only DA installation where it appears like this in emails. I have more than five servers.

Yes, I do. I posted the default namespace_private.conf which by default is generated from /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/configure/dovecot/conf/namespace_private.conf

You can even run:

Bash: 
doveconf -n | grep mailbox -A 3

to see loaded configuration.

If the situation is different on other servers of yours, then either they have a custom configuration or are old enough and were installed before the namespace_private.conf started to be used in the current revision by DirectAdmin.
 
This is what I have:

Code: 
root@host ~ # doveconf -n | grep mailbox -A 3
  mailbox Drafts {
    auto = subscribe
    special_use = "\\Drafts"
  }
  mailbox Junk {
    fts_autoindex = no
    auto = create
    special_use = "\\Junk"
--
  mailbox spam {
    fts_autoindex = no
    auto = no
    special_use = "\\Junk"
--
  mailbox Spam {
    fts_autoindex = no
    auto = no
    special_use = "\\Junk"
--
  mailbox Trash {
    fts_autoindex = no
    auto = subscribe
    special_use = "\\Trash"
--
  mailbox Sent {
    auto = subscribe
    special_use = "\\Sent"
  }
  mailbox "Sent Messages" {
    auto = no
    special_use = "\\Sent"
  }
  mailbox "Sent Items" {
    auto = no
    special_use = "\\Sent"
  }
  mailbox Archive {
    auto = no
    special_use = "\\Archive"
  }
  mailbox Archives {
    auto = no
    special_use = "\\Archive"
  }
root@host ~ #

You might even try:

Code: 
doveconf -n | grep mailbox -C 10

but I'm almost sure you will see:

Code: 
namespace inbox {
  inbox = yes
  prefix =
  separator = .
  type = private

there.

Anyway you've got there:

Code: 
  mailbox Junk {
    fts_autoindex = no
    auto = create
    special_use = "\\Junk"

  mailbox Spam {
    fts_autoindex = no
    auto = no
    special_use = "\\Junk"
 
PAG So it's not the default, right? Does it have something to do with spasassin? Is there something you can change when configuring?
