Sorry for this bump, but isn't there a better solution to have those folders than to be watching the logs for warnings and recreate them?

Yes, all folder tree has vmail:vmail as the owner, and dovecot can create the folders without issues. I verified that when manually creating those folders, the warnings disappear, the main issue still remains though. When I send the first mail to a user he has this layout: cur dovecot.index.cache dovecot.index.log dovecot-uidlist dovecot-uidvalidity dovecot-uidvalidity.5191f7ad maildirsize new tmp
Sadly ,there's no home folder, so I've no other option than to create the folder by hand?

Hi Steffen, that was an error I hadn't spotted (copypasting error).
Still after changing mail_home to the proper value (/home/vmail/%d/%n/home) the errors in the logs are the same
Am I supposed to create the folders via an external script? Or is
there any option to make this automatic.
As far as I know, the home directory is not created automatically. You will need to use an external script.
I have this config:mail_home = /mail/users/mailboxes/%2Ln/%Ln mail_location = mdbox:%h/mdbox:INDEX=/mail/**indexes/%2Ln/%Ln
In my config, mail_home is also auto created (I have dovecot2.1.16)
Do you have any error? Has dovecot user permissions to createdirecotories/files under your /var/mail?
