[Dovecot] How to add the missing maildir folders
Hi fellow list members,
What would be the best way to add the .Sent,.Draft, etc. folders to the maildir tree? It seems not Dovecots task to do that but of the MUA.
I have seen several options. Use of skel but that works only for new system users. I have only virtual users preloaded in a database. I've discoverred that ONLY Roundcube add the folders (if configured to do that) but I've not been able to have the folders created by Thunderbird. Yes, you can manage the subscribtions to folders but there is no way to create them. I did not bother to try Outlook... MY users use pop3, imap and web (Roundcube) but I cannot ask them to use Roundcube first, just to create the folders.
I have no such thing as maildrop, which seems to be able to create folders. Should I run some script during login? How?
TIA Egbert Jan (NL)

Thanks. Stupid me. I thought autocreate was for 2.x only. I'm still on 1.2.9 (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS). Folders are created now. Although not strict a function of Dovecot, I'm very happy that this plugin exists.
