[Dovecot] Problems getting auto create plugin to work

[Dr Josef Karthauser]

Hi there,

I've configured the 'autocreate' plugin (in v.2.1.6), but it doesn't appear to be working. Can someone help me work out how to work out why please?

I've got this in my 20-imap.conf file:

protocol imap {
   mail_plugins = $mail_plugins antispam autocreate
}

and this in my 90-plugins.conf file:

plugin {
  autocreate = Trash
  autocreate2 = Spam
  autosubscribe = Trash
  autosubscribe2 = Spam

   ... etc
}

But, the spam does not get created upon login. I've restart dovecot and restarted my mail client, but there's no hint of an spam folder.

Is there something else that I also need to do?

Thanks,
Joe
