I thought of the process when dovecot creates a new maildir-folder for  
a user. It does that when the first e-mail for this user arrives. The  
following determines the path where this is done.

userdb static {
       args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes
}

You are right it doesn't, but it creates the folders and files. See  
above. PostLoginSripting is not a "nice" solution but I could check  
the presence of dovecot-shared at every login though.
