Hello,

I return the path to the directory for an account with sql. So the path 
it returned is : /home/mail/mydomain.nl/info
It looks like dovecot is trying to create dir. It calls the mkdir 
function. And other account were created the first time. I never have 
manualy create the directories.

I have tried some other options now and now it does not give that error, 
but I have another problem. I submitted that question in another thread 
of this list.

greetings,

Alex
