Mr. Timo,
I would presume you are busy with many responsibilities, but might you have a few minutes to consider this problem?
Or is there any other Dovecot expert who may be able to offer advice on how to get the home directories created? Thank you for those who have helped offer advice on this already.
Tried your config here and it works. My debug log looks as follows for the first brief IMAP session:

Took me a few tries to get this working though. You need to configure the permissions of /vmail correctly. Are you sure you're looking in the correct log file for finding errors?
You can execute the following to find out:
$ sudo doveadm log find Looking for log files from /var/log Debug: /var/log/syslog Debug: /var/log/mail.log Info: /var/log/syslog Info: /var/log/mail.info Info: /var/log/mail.log Warning: /var/log/mail.warn Warning: /var/log/syslog Warning: /var/log/mail.info Warning: /var/log/mail.log Error: /var/log/mail.warn Error: /var/log/syslog Error: /var/log/mail.info Error: /var/log/mail.err Error: /var/log/mail.log Fatal: /var/log/mail.warn Fatal: /var/log/syslog Fatal: /var/log/mail.info Fatal: /var/log/mail.err Fatal: /var/log/mail.log

Hello,
I spent the afternoon troubleshooting this, and after hours, I still can't see what I'm missing.
On the older version of Dovecot (2.2) it worked fine to create a new user, then Dovecot would create the home folder under the maildir folder as outlined in the documentation, simply by creating a new user in the database, and opening the new user account in the mail client.
