I'm wondering whether your "mail=" should have "maildir:" in it, i.e. "mail=maildir:/var/mail/vhost/example.com/%n" or maybe it should not be there at all?
The error seems to come from src/imap/namespace.c (but I was tracing the wrong mail_storage_create_with_data() call before). The lines
mail = getenv("MAIL"); if (mail == NULL) { /* support also maildir-specific environment */ mail = getenv("MAILDIR"); if (mail != NULL) mail = t_strconcat("maildir:", mail, NULL); }
seem to suggest that MAIL should have "maildir:" in it for maildirs.
Best Wishes, Chris

Hi, i'm using dovecot-1.0-stable.
All my mail accounts are virtual accounts that come from pam with the following configuration in auth_default: passdb = pam userdb = static uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/var/mail/vhost/example.com/%n mail=/var/mail/vhost/example.com/%n
for a user foo, if the directory /var/mail/vhost/example.com/foo already exists, then all is ok, but if the directory doesn't exists, it seems dovecot is unable to create it "on the fly". I get the following error message: Failed to create storage with data: /var/mail/vhost/example.com/foo
