Duplicate (lowercase) maildir sub directories in skeleton for new mail users problem

Hi, using virtual min GPL, I found out that the mail skel configuration is stored at:

# ls -lha /etc/mailskel/Maildir/
total 32K
drwx------ 8 root root 4.0K Sep 15 14:17 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Dec 17 2010 ..
drwx------ 2 root root 4.0K Dec 17 2010 cur
drwx------ 5 root root 4.0K Dec 17 2010 .Drafts
drwx------ 5 root root 4.0K Dec 17 2010 .Junk
drwx------ 2 root root 4.0K Dec 17 2010 new
drwx------ 2 root root 4.0K Dec 17 2010 .Sent
drwx------ 2 root root 4.0K Dec 17 2010 tmp

I tested altering the configuration, and I see that it populates in new users, sort of:

# mkdir /etc/mailskel/Maildir/.Test

After creating a test user, without loggin in any mail client, I get the following skel:

# ls -lha /home/domain/homes/usertest/Maildir/
total 52K
drwx------ 13 usertest@domain domain 4.0K Sep 15 14:07 .
drwxr-x--- 4  usertest@domain domain 4.0K Sep 15 14:07 ..
drwx------ 2  usertest@domain domain 4.0K Sep 15 14:07 cur
drwx------ 5  usertest@domain domain 4.0K Sep 15 14:07 .drafts
drwx------ 5  usertest@domain domain 4.0K Sep 15 14:07 .Drafts
drwx------ 5  usertest@domain domain 4.0K Sep 15 14:07 .Junk
drwx------ 2  usertest@domain domain 4.0K Sep 15 14:07 new
drwx------ 5  usertest@domain domain 4.0K Sep 15 14:07 .sent
drwx------ 2  usertest@domain domain 4.0K Sep 15 14:07 .Sent
drwx------ 5  usertest@domain domain 4.0K Sep 15 14:07 .spam
drwxr-xr-x 2  usertest@domain domain 4.0K Sep 15 14:07 .Test
drwx------ 2  usertest@domain domain 4.0K Sep 15 14:07 tmp
drwx------ 5  usertest@domain domain 4.0K Sep 15 14:07 .trash

I have no idea from where the lowercase directories are created (eg .drafts, .sent), I have checked the skel at /etc/skel, and does not contain them either. I want to remove the creation of the extra dirs, any clues?

You can customize the names of these default folders, at System Settings -> Virtualmin Configuration -> Actions upon server and user creation , using the "Trash folder name for new mailboxes" field and the others for drafts and sent mail..
