[Dovecot] Auto creating client folders on the IMAP server after installing client.

Hi,

Yup, finally tracked that down!

The "Sent" folder and missing folders added via telnet
problem has been resolved. For the future, noobs
please note: If you click on "Sent" in TBird and get:
"The current command did not succeed. The mail server
responded: Mailbox doesn't exist: Sent." then you got
to add the folder manually via telnet:

telnet server 143
x login username pass
x create Sent
logout

And THEN SUBSCRIBE to that via File->Subscribe.

I'll try that patch to automate folder creation
(thanks!). I'll also check in TBird's cfg file -
perhaps something there needs enabling, so mebbe I
won't need to patch.

I'm now running 1.0.14 but I'll compile the latest
dovecot when I create a install package. Also got
Getmail to work with minimal hassle (need to still
figure out how to maintain the GMail label structure
on my local IMAP)
Phew! Thanks!!
