Designate \Junk for Junk Mail folder in XLIST

Using Outlook 2013, it is no longer possible to specify special folders.. Instead, it relies on the designations for the XLIST command. I noticed "INBOX", "Trash", "Sent Items" and "Drafts" are designated as such when running the XLIST command. The Junk Mail folder, however, is not specially designated, and as a result Outlook 2013 creates a 2nd Junk E-mail folder that resides locally on the client side.

Can "Junk Mail" have the \Junk attribute set on it to deal with this as per RFC 6154? I believe Apple Mail runs into the same issue. As you know, system folders cannot be renamed.

Sampling of XLIST on my account.. All special folders are designated as such except Junk:

a3 XLIST "" "*"
* XLIST (\HasChildren \Inbox) "." INBOX
* XLIST (\HasNoChildren \Drafts) "." INBOX.Drafts

* XLIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Junk Mail"

* XLIST (\HasNoChildren \Sent) "." "INBOX.Sent Items"
* XLIST (\HasChildren \Trash) "." INBOX.Trash

a3 OK Completed (0.060 secs 41 calls)

Yes please! This is critical for Outlook 2013.

I don't understand what Microsoft was thinking when they removed the ability to map folders in the latest version of Outlook.
