How does everyone handle this case?
Users are authenticated by LDAP, and do not have accounts on the IMAP/dovecot server. When a new user is added to LDAP, the home directory (/home/newuser) needs to be created on the IMAP/dovecot server so dovecot can create the mail directories inside it (/home/newuser/mail/).
Dovecot creates the home directory automatically if it has permissions to do it. So I guess in your case the mail user doesn't have permissions to do it and only root can create it?
