Hello,

We recently upgraded to Dovecot 1.1 from 1.0.5 and we are having few
issues:

1) Maildir's are not created anymore for new users if they dont excits,
the directories where created before, is this a configuration issue?

2) Cannot subscribe to shared folders, if currently subscribed they work
fine but cannot re-subscribe, also i noticed that the control directory
for the namespace is not created anymore, before it was, any ideas?
