[imp] Default Mailbox Folders

[Eugene Kerner]

Thanks guys,

Its running in windoze XP on hMailServer over MySQL.
So the mailboxes are in the database and there is no /etc/skel.

The hMailServer doco Claims its the responsibility of the client: 
http://www.hmailserver.com/documentation/latest/?page=information_imap

Further, I have setup another exactly the same except on Vista (Last year) I 
managed to somehow magically make it work.
New users get a still get a standard set of folders, and although I have no 
clue where they come from, Im certain that I configured it Horde/IMP.

Im thinking I may need to go back to my customer running the vista boxes and 
do a search in the horde code.
