[Dovecot] Bug: Creating mbox folders

[Kelly Stephens]

Hey,

I had trouble this morning creating a folder to contain sub-folders.  I 
am using the mbox format.  Turns out that the .imap directory in the new 
folder (directory) was not being created.  Anytime I tried to view a 
sub-folder (using Thunderbird) dovecot would dump.  Once I manually 
created the .imap directory, it works fine.

dovecot --version -> 2.0.9

dovecot -n
# 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686 i686 Fedora release 14 (Laughlin)
listen = *
mbox_write_locks = fcntl
passdb {
   driver = pam
}
protocols = imap
ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem
userdb {
   driver = passwd
}

The maillog dump...
