Correct. This is a known "feature" of iOS. Some versions are better  
able to map the iOS Junk folder to existing Spam-like folder names.  
That said, we can better handle the case where the folder exists and  
is not subscribed. Please create a ticket on bugs.horde.org regarding  
the unsubscribed use-case.
