[Dovecot] deliver custom maildir creation
/ I'm testing a new setup of postfix using deliver to put the messages into the user's maildir, and am curious if there is a way to make deliver create custom maildirs when it delivers to a valid user without a maildir?
Right now it only creates the inbox, I'd like it to create the .sent/ .Trash/ and .SPAM dirs. Is this possible?
Thanks

You could create a login script that tests for and creates them if they don't exist.

I don't know as far as deliver, but what I do is put the mailboxes I want to be sure exist in my /etc/skel. That way, on user creation, the directories are already there.
If others know more Dovecotty ways to handle this, please speak up!

That only works for system users, not for virtual users...

Perhaps the autocreate plugin can do this.

Well... sounds perfect, but where would I look for this?
Its not on the 'Plugins' page anywhere:

/ That worked great!
Is there a reason this isn't an "official" plugin?

Ok, I note that the date of the autocreate plugin (and two others) is the 5th - the same day you posted this - so these are brand new??
Since IANAP, are they documented anywhere - in English?
One specific question (since IANAP and cannot deduce this from reading the code)... does the autocreate plugin execute every time someone logs in? Or does it somehow know to only run once (first time logging in)?
Imapalert looks interesting too...
Are these planned to be made 'offocial' plugins?
