I want to enable autocreate-plugin, I downloaded http://dovecot.org/patches/1.1/autocreate-plugin.c compiled as specified in comment and got autocreate_plugin.so but I'm not sure how do I install it.

I have many plugins in /usr/local/lib/dovecot/ (it's FreeBSD) and
subdirs, but they all have libXX_ prefixes (what do they mean?). I couldn't find
any information about installing plugins on dovecot's wiki and I don't
want to experiment as the server is live (not really important but still
live).

Put it in the lib/dovecot/imap/ directory. It doesn't have to have
libXX_ prefix, those are used to figure out the order in which the
plugins are loaded, but it shouldn't matter when autocreate is run. So
just add "autocreate" to mail_plugins setting.
