I ask this question to the user and they seem to think should have been more maybe not everyday but certainly more than folders.
# doveadm log errors Jan 07 08:23:27 Error: director: Empty server list Jan 07 08:23:27 Fatal: director: Invalid value for director_mail_servers setting
I maybe getting this as I may have the wrong syntax.

Why do you think you should be seeing folders for every single day? Do your users create a new folder each day and migrate mails in there? Do you have a sieve script that is filtering incoming mail into daily folders?
Phillip> That what should be there but isn’t that my understanding.
It's not clear how these are created. Have you looked at the dovecot logs?

It's not making sense to me why you think these should be automatically created. You need to read the dovecot FAQ and the debugging hints and give us more details.

I notice to use this command but does tell me a lot either.

Hello,
I have an usual isshere we are using thunderbird for client. The version of dovecot is as followed:
# dovecot --version 2.2.22 (fe789d2)
The dovecot service is runnon on VERSION="16.04.6 LTS (Xenial Xerus)"
Thunderbird version 68.3.1 (32 bit) version.
What happening when managing subscription there seems to be folders that are missing. They were not purged nor did anything happen like an outage.
If you look at this below Sep19 (for September 2019), It list only the following folders: 16Sep19, 25Sep19 26Sep19
[cid:image002.png@01D5C536.5A7C7770]
To me this looks like some indexing gone south. I've tried this
# doveadm mailbox status -u arhive doveadm mailbox status [-u <user>|-A] [-S
] <fields> <mailbox> [...] # doveadm mailbox status -u archive Maildir # doveadm mailbox status [-u <user>|-A] [-S
] <fields> <mailbox> [...] r# doveadm mailbox status -u archive INBOX @doveadm mailbox status [-u <user>|-A] [-S ] <fields> <mailbox> [...] The user is archive
The user home folder is this: # pwd /home/mail/archive/Maildir
This what in it. # ls cur dovecot.index.log dovecot.mailbox.log.2 dovecot-uidvalidity.50ca19bb tmp dovecot.index dovecot.index.log.2 dovecot-uidlist dovecot-uidvalidity.50ca19bc dovecot.index.cache dovecot-keywords dovecot-uidvalidity dovecot-uidvalidity.50ca1b2d dovecot.index.cache.gz dovecot-keywords.gz dovecot-uidvalidity.50ca1990 new dovecot.index.cache.gz.2 dovecot.mailbox.log dovecot-uidvalidity.50ca19ab subscriptions
# doveadm log errors #
I don't see in errors. I tried to reload dovecot. # doveadm instance list path name last used running /var/run/dovecot dovecot 2020-01-06 22:41:46 yes root@dc3-ops-prod-vserv-archive01:~#
There nothing in the logs that I can see.
# doveadm user -u archive userdb: archive user : archive system_groups_user: archive uid : 1011 gid : 1011 home : /home/archive root@dc3-ops-prod-vserv-archive01:~#
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,
