Hi guys.

My conf:

# 1.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.32-23-server x86_64 Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS reiserfs

      path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
      mode: 384
      user: vmail
      group: vmail
-------------------------------------

My problem is that dovecot is creating aditional folders:

#ls -l /home/vmail

drwx------ 6 vmail vmail 184 2010-09-01 01:31 escuelasuperiordecoaching.com
drwx------ 8 vmail vmail 392 2010-09-01 10:58
pablo.rodriguez at escuelasuperiordecoaching.com

# ls -l escuelasuperiordecoaching.com/
drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 120 2010-08-30 14:35 pablo.rodriguez

I'm receiving mail in
/home/vmail/escuelasuperiordecoaching.com/pablo.rodriguez/new without
problem, but why is dovecot creating aditional folders?

My log:

I can see that Dovecot is creating when...I login?

What's the problem? I can't understand...

Thanks in advance.
