[Dovecot] Dovecot creating aditional folders?

[Pablo]

Thank you again.

Yes, you're on the way :-)

Problem was that in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf was:

mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%u/

instead of my new line:

mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%u/

I think it's all right now. Well...not all right, I see no mails with
a client (it's on the mailserver filesystem) but it's another history
;-)

Thanks in advance!
