ok in general
the mail client (thunderbird etc) will usually create these upon the first login
i on the other hand (because this was always a crap shoot with cyrus) take the time to make the special folders manually.
example (done in python):
command2 = commands.getoutput('/usr/local/bin/doveadm mailbox create -s -u %s Sent' %str(username)) print 'Command2 : %s' %command2 command3 = commands.getoutput('/usr/local/bin/doveadm mailbox create -s -u %s Trash' %str(username)) print 'Command3 : %s' %command3 command4 = commands.getoutput('/usr/local/bin/doveadm mailbox create -s -u %s Drafts' %str(username)) print 'Command4 : %s' %command4
also note dovecot config's
namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / }
will / should do the same thing.
Happy Wednesday !!! Thanks - paul

Hello
I removed the user in static userdb file, and deleted /var/mail/vhosts/$domain/$user dir.
when I recreated the user, the system dirs (sent, draft etc) disappeared.
Anything wrong here? Thank you.
