I'm trying to config a dovecot server on a debian-lenny box but I'm experiencing a problem that serveral users have on the net, but I haven't found any solution.
I'm trying to create nested dirs with my thunderbird 2.0.0.23 client but without any luck :( I can create dir in the root, but not subdirs.
have you any ideas?

You are the socond person asking such question.
http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation <quote> By default the mail_location setting is empty, which means that Dovecot attempts to locate automatically where your mails are. This is done by looking at ~/Maildir, /var/mail/username, ~/mail and ~/Mail in that order. It's usually a good idea to explicitly specify where the mails are, even if the autodetection happens to work. Autodetection commonly fails for new users who don't have the mail directory created yet. </quote>
