[dovecot] mailbox problem

Hi list!

Since a week I am testing with dovecot, and I must say, I like it a lot :) Keep up the good work :)

I do have one questing regarding dovecot: If I login to a mailbox, and the mailbox does NOT exist, and the parent directory does not exist either, I will get disconnected, and dovecot claims it cannot create the directory. (eg: my user blah@test.com has mail directory /var/mail/t/te/test.com/blah/Maildir, and all directories up to /var/mail/t/te/ exist, dovecot does not create the directory test.com/ and on.)

Is this by design, or should this be created by dovecot?

The problem is solved as soon as the user receives his first email, since my MTA creates the directories...

Thank you,
