Default Outlook Junk E-mail vs Zimbra Junk folders

When Outlook accesses a Zimbra account via IMAP, it seems to be impossible to rename or delete the "Junk E-mail" special folder that Outlook creates. Even if that folder was deleted on the server, Outlook will just re-create it again.

Conversely, it also seems to be impossible to rename or delete the default "Junk" folder in Zimbra (either in Outlook or in the Zimbra web client).

How can I reconcile these two folders into one folder, and have both Outlook and the Zimbra web client treat the same folder as the special spam folder?


P.S. From my limited testing previously, I think that when using the Outlook Connector, the Zimbra MAPI provider transparently translates "Junk E-mail" in Outlook to "Junk" in the Zimbra server (is this correct?). The problem is that my current hosted Zimbra provider (Brinkster) does not support the Outlook Connector so I have to use IMAP.

I don't think there's a straightforward way to do this. Please file an enhancement request in bugzilla and we'll look into it. The probable solution would be to add a new /ol switch that you can append to your IMAP login name; when specified, we'd map "Junk E-mail" to "Junk".

Did you find a workaround for this issue?
I have outlook in spanish creating a folder called "correo electronico no desado" and zimbra a "Junk" folder.
Is there a way to tell Outlook to point to Zimbra's Junk folder??

Thanks
