[Dovecot] telnet to dovecot not creating mbox

[Andy Fadich]

Hi,
 
Whenever I create a new email user, telnet fails until an email is sent to
that user to create his mbox.  This is the error that it gives. Anyone know
how to fix this?  I could create the email account script to touch the users
mbox, but I havn't needed to do this in the past with ipop3d and dovecot on
a different server.
 
 
[root at mail log]# telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK Dovecot ready.
