It never hurts to read main.inc.php:
// display these folders separately in the mailbox list.
// these folders will also be displayed with localized names
$rcmail_config['default_imap_folders'] = array('INBOX', 'Drafts', 'Sent', 'Junk', 'Trash');
// automatically create the above listed default folders on login
$rcmail_config['create_default_folders'] = TRUE;
