First you were talking about the "sent" folder and the settings I showed 
you will allow you to select *any* folder with *any* name for sent, 
drafts and templates. I usually disable junk mail filtering in mozilla 
(I have amavis-new+spamassassin taking care of spam on the server), but 
I enabled it just to test what you are saying and in "Junk mail control" 
you can select *any* folder for junk mail (I selected "spam" and it 
showed the junk mail icon, you have to collapse and expand the folders 
tree to see the new icons).
The key is to select *other* and not sent/drafts/templates/junk in those 
preferences.
