You mean the four folders, or the inbox itself? For the inbox itself: if 
there is no such directory, the login will fail and the user will look 
for errors. For the other folders: we have a crappy webmail, which 
messes directly with the maildir, and that also doesn't autocreate the 
mailboxes, so if the user only logs in via pop and webmail, and I only 
create inbox, he will miss trash, drafts and sent...

Weird, I know. :)
