Hello Dmitry,
As a side note: the above documents Dovecot 1.x, and you're using 2.2.4.
I thought that if it works in 1.x to 2.x then be all the more
This is a bit strange... are you really sure the home directory hasn't been created? If yes, do you have some messages in your info.log?
Really ... unfortunately.

Hi,

And yet, here http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall it is written Users can be added by editing this file. Dovecot automatically notices the new users immediately after they're added. It also creates their home directories when the user logs in.
Hello Dmitry,
As a side note: the above documents Dovecot 1.x, and you're using 2.2.4.
However, the directory is not created.
