Currently there's no configuration option for that. Some people want to
create directories also for the user's home directory and possibly it's
parent directory etc. so it'd be better to do it right the first time
for everyone..

You could patch the sources, something like this: 

--- src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-storage.c.old 2004-01-12 20:50:45.000000000 +0200
+++ src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-storage.c     2004-01-12 20:51:13.000000000 +0200

                        } while (p != NULL);
                }
+               mkdir(root_dir, 0700);
        }
 
        if (root_dir == NULL)
