You could also use welcome plugin to execute a custom script on first login.

thanks for the feedback!
Userdb would be an option, however we would need to extend our LDAP Schema with an additional "autocreate flag". Modifying the LDAP import scripts, this is quite a task. Another option we were thinking of is creating the special folders by a script right after user creation.
By far the best and easiest solution would be a flag to auto-create the special folders ONLY on first login.
Is there any chance to get this feature?
Thanks a lot!

We are currently migrating accounts to Dovecot. The existing accounts do have special folders with different names. (i.e. sent, sent-mail) The autocreate-function of "special folders" is useful. However we need this feature ONLY for new users. The existing accounts have a mapping for their own "special folders". Did someone manage to implement this ? Are there workarounds? Workaround might be the thread "Auto create & subscribe folder from Userdb".
Configure Dovecot to autocreate / autosubscribe and configure the userdb of existing users to override auto with no .
You should test however, if some mail clients get confused with the new special use folders. When I switched them on several years ago, I had no complains about this. So, I guess, this "advice" (special use tag) is taken into account during account creation only.
I'm not sure if you can override "special_use = \Sent", too.
