OK, I guess that's about the only one I really got stuck on, but unless 
someone's being difficult or esoteric I think everyone uses the set:
           inbox, sent, trash, drafts
with some variation on capitalization.

IIRC, Kmail used something unexpected by me, but I think it was ~/Mail/ 
instead of ~/Maildir or ~/mail.  Minor, but somewhat predictable.
