[Dovecot] Dovecot creating aditional folders?

[Pablo]

Thank you for your response.

Yes, I know that I'm using maildir, but when we create an account,
file sistem look likes:

/home/vmail/domain.com/user1/new
/home/vmail/domain.com/user1/cur
/home/vmail/domain.com/user1/tmp

My problem is that dovecot is creating additional folders:

/home/vmail/user1/new
/home/vmail/domain.com/user/cur
/home/vmail/domain.com/user/tmp

Mail are received in first directories, second ones are created but not used.

What's the problem?

Thanks again!
