autocreate mailboxes

[Mike Pultz]

Hello,

 

I just upgraded to Dovecot 2.2.13 from the 2.0 version branch- so far
everything is working great.

 

I wanted to take advantage of the mailbox option to auto create and auto
subscribe users to a Sent and Trash folder (using the support for the
special use flags), but ideally, I only want to do this for new mailboxes,
and not for all the mailboxes that already exist on the system.

 

The reason for this is because all the existing users likely already have a
sent-mail folder configured, and I don't want to implement this, and have
their sent-mail folder switched to this new one.

 

When I set this up on my test system, I noticed that the new sent and trash
folders appeared in my existing mailbox, and when I checked the account on
my iPhone, it switched my sent-mail folder away from my "normal" sent-mail
folder, and I couldn't change it back.

 

Is there a way to do this ONLY when dovecot creates a new mailbox?

 

Thanks,

 

Mike
