I think you may be looking at a catch-22 situation.  Not everyone stores
their drafts etc. in the same place on their IMAP servers.  So, when Evo
sets up an IMAP account it cannot assume that a given set of folders
will exist there. 

Furthermore, it cannot check for existing folders until the account is
already set up and you have subscribed to folders.  There's your
catch-22.

I don't think Evo can do it automagically without user input; you might
file an RFE for a feature that asks the user after getting all other
account settings:  "Would you like to subscribe now and select special
folders?"  Users new to IMAP might find this useful.
