ok in general

the mail client (thunderbird etc) will usually create these upon the first login

i on the other hand (because this was always a crap shoot with cyrus) take the time to make the special folders manually.

example (done in python):

                     command2 = 

commands.getoutput('/usr/local/bin/doveadm mailbox create -s -u %s Sent' %str(username)) print 'Command2 : %s' %command2 command3 = commands.getoutput('/usr/local/bin/doveadm mailbox create -s -u %s Trash' %str(username)) print 'Command3 : %s' %command3 command4 = commands.getoutput('/usr/local/bin/doveadm mailbox create -s -u %s Drafts' %str(username)) print 'Command4 : %s' %command4

also note dovecot config's

namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / }

will / should do the same thing.

Happy Wednesday !!! Thanks - paul

Hello

I removed the user in static userdb file, and deleted /var/mail/vhosts/$domain/$user dir.

when I recreated the user, the system dirs (sent, draft etc) disappeared.

Anything wrong here? Thank you.
