[Dovecot] Autocreation the home folder

[Joan]

Yes, all folder tree has vmail:vmail as the owner, and dovecot can create
the folders without issues.
I verified that when manually creating those folders, the warnings
disappear, the main issue still remains though.
When I send the first mail to a user he has this layout:
  cur
  dovecot.index.cache
  dovecot.index.log
  dovecot-uidlist
  dovecot-uidvalidity
  dovecot-uidvalidity.5191f7ad
  maildirsize
  new
  tmp

Sadly ,there's no home folder, so I've no other option than to create the
folder by hand?
