[Dovecot] If mbox does not exist dovecot creates directory

[Alexander Shikoff]

Hi,

I've searched the archive of mailing list but did not find anything about
this issue.

dovecot 1.0alpha5, using mbox format and MySQL DB of users

When user is trying to login via POP3 and there is no corresponding mailbox
for it dovecot creates a directory instead of mbox file.

In this time log looks like
Feb 10 10:39:36 orion dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(ivan.sid at my.com.ua,192.168.3.9): query: SELECT `password` FROM `users` WHERE login = 'ivan.sid at my.com.ua'
