IMP is an IMAP client, the folders come from the server so this is not a 
Horde, or IMP issue.

However, the way I get round this is to create the relevant folders in 
the /etc/skel directory so when a new user is created by the system and 
their home directory is created, it already contains the folder I need.

If you're using an IMAP server that uses Maildir mailboxes, you can do 
the same, either way, that should give you a clue to solve this.

Good Luck.
