Hello, Some versions of Outlook will randomly rename the Junk folder to Junk Email. This of course causes errors because Dovecot can no longer store junk. I go in to Outlook for each user and add another Junk folder, so now they have Junk and Junk Email. This fix action lasts a while until Outlook decides to do it again. Is there a way to tell Dovecot that if the Junk folder doesn't exist, try sending the email to Junk Email folder? Thanks in advance.

Hopefully, Dovecot can overcome this behaviour, with the mail alias plugin: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailboxAlias Just create an alias 'Junk Email' as 'Junk'. Have a nice day! -- Andr?

You must mean sieve script. You can add :create into your fileinto directive to make pigeonhole to create the folder if it does not exist. also you can use ACL to forbid user from deleting/renaming the Junk folder.

Thank you. You are right. It is a sieve issue, but I do not know the
"IF FOLDER DOES NOT EXIST" code for sieve and I cannot find an
example.
I would rather send the mail to Junk Email than create a folder. So the
code should look like:
IF (DESTINATION FOLDER = "Junk") {
IF (DESTINATION FOLDER DOES NOT EXIST) {
ATTEMPT TO STORE EMAIL IN "Junk Email" FOLDER
