You usually use these global virtual folders like this:
namespace virtual {
location =
virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/.virtual:CONTROL=~/.virtual:VOLATILEDIR=~/.virtual/
... rest of the settings
}
Then you create the dovecot-virtual files under /etc/dovecot/virtual like
/etc/dovecot/virtual/Flagged/dovecot-virtual
This lets you creat them automatically for all users.
