[Dovecot] ATTN TIMO: Man pages of "deliver"
The man pages of "man deliver" do not explain the "-n" option which is confusing a lot of people as to why mailboxes and mail folders aren't being automatically created; yet, the dovecot wiki's both say to use "-n" in postfix's master.cf which keeps dovecot's lda from automatically creating the folders. People are pulling hair over this!
The default should be to not use -n as most will want their directories automatically created. The dovecot wikis, at least wiki1, also do not include the -e option to be more verbose to postfix, on error.

Sorry, I too didn't know of the addition of an autocreate plugin in 2.0 and the changes to "protocol LDA" to automatically create directories sieve and LDA itself needed. Please ignore this reference and thanks!
