Thunderbird IMAP: change default folders

I was really annoyed by the default folder names used by Thunderbird (Sent, Junk, etc...) because they are different from default folders already in use in my remote webmail account (Sent Items, Spam, etc..). As I was using both Thunderbird (from work) and the webmail interface (from home), my messages were split into two sets of folders. It was really confusing. For example, emptying the trash using Thunderbird to make free space was only working on one folder and not the other, and I was not able to find sent messages because I was looking into only one folder from Thunderbird.
I previously found a way to change the default remote trash folder by changing a configuration file (see related post). It is also possible to change all default directories using a couple of clicks.

1. Right click on the IMAP account name in the left pane and select "Suscribe..."
2. Select default folders of the webmail account and deselect default folders created by Thunderbird.
3. You can now associate these folders to some events in the Account Settings for the IMAP account. For example:
1. Server Settings / When I delete a message / Move it to this folder
2. Copies & Folders / When sending a message, automatically / Place a copy in / Other
3. Junk Settings / Move new junk message to / Other
