Hi,
I've searched the archive of mailing list but did not find anything about this issue.
dovecot 1.0alpha5, using mbox format and MySQL DB of users
When user is trying to login via POP3 and there is no corresponding mailbox for it dovecot creates a directory instead of mbox file.
In this time log looks like
Feb 10 10:39:36 orion dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(ivan.sid@my.com.ua,192.168.3.9): query: SELECT password FROM users WHERE login = 'ivan.sid@my.com.ua'
