Description
While accessing James via IMAP, only default INBOX mailbox is present. Some e-mail applications do create them on demand (Apple mail.app, but it's not quite strict when it comes to naming so other apps usually can't pick it up), others like Thunderbird simply shows an error (for Sent, Drafts).
I think it would be good to provision those mailboxes at the same time when INBOX is created (hooked to single check for INBOX to avoid checking for each and every mailbox) in org.apache.james.imap.processor.AbstractAuthProcessor#provisionInbox method (https://github.com/apache/james-project/blob/24c49d5979447bfce1ef5f055f7b0a9449466a83/protocols/imap/src/main/java/org/apache/james/imap/processor/AbstractAuthProcessor.java#L135).
