That doesn't seem to work.  First I get
Fatal: Namespace initialization failed
virtual: Root mail directory doesn't exist: /var/maildir/frank/virtual.

If I create that directory, then I can login but I can't see the virtual
mailboxes.  If I start creating subdirectories matching the virtual
mailboxes I can start to see them but no messages inside and no errors
in the log.
