[Dovecot] Unusual behaviour

[Mark Lidstone]

I thought that Dovecot was supposed to handle that kind of thing?
Reading from the website:

	"Any kind of crash is considered as bug and will be fixed - even
if it happens only by deliberately poking the index files."

I've done it in the past by just creating the bare folders - they appear
in the IMAP folder list then when they're used Dovecot seems to create
the sub folders anyway.

The issue I'm asking about here is, should the error message say
"Internal Error [date time]" rather than something useful?

No: you created a directory. IMAP folders need cur/ tmp/ and new/ as
subdirectories under the new folder directory.
