dovecot-2.2.36-3.el7.x86_64
The below configuration seems to work for Thunderbird and emclient, when
moving a message to Junk. Emclient uses "Junk E-mail" and Thunderbird
uses "Junk". On the server is only the file .Junk created as expected.
When I move a message to Archive in Thunderbird. On the server the files
.Archives and .Archives.2018 are created (Thunderbird creates a
subfolder in Archives)
How is this possible? On the server there is already an .Archive folder
so it should create .Archive.2018 not?
imap_capability = +SPECIAL-USE
# drafts folders merging
mailbox Drafts {
special_use = \Drafts
auto = create
}
# archive folders merging
mailbox Archive {
special_use = \Archive
auto = create
}
mailbox Archives {
special_use = \Archive
auto = no
}
# spam folders merging
mailbox Junk {
special_use = \Junk
auto = create
}
mailbox Spam {
special_use = \Junk
auto = no
}
mailbox "Junk E-mail" {
special_use = \Junk
auto = no
}

Your configuration doesn't look wrong at first glance. Maybe assigning the special use flag to the mailboxes you don't want is a bad idea, but I am not sure. First, you could connect to your IMAP server directly (e.g. using telnet) to verify that: 1) The SPECIAL-USE capability is actually announced. 2) The mailbox listed below are actually being returned by LIST command with the appropriate arguments. Then (or alternatively), you can check the communication between your clients and Dovecot using the rawlog facility to find out what those are doing. That may give you some clues.
