If he does not have a .procmailrc then I would suspect some plugin or
filter in his mua (mutt, evolution, or thunderbird) created the folder.

My .procmailrc routinely creates folders based on list names for me thus
sorting my mail into a specific folder, but of course I don't see how
his mua filter or plugin got setup without his intervention.
