Home Directory Creation

[Asai]

Hello,

I spent the afternoon troubleshooting this, and after hours, I still 
can't see what I'm missing.

On the older version of Dovecot (2.2) it worked fine to create a new 
user, then Dovecot would create the home folder under the maildir folder 
as outlined in the documentation, simply by creating a new user in the 
database, and opening the new user account in the mail client.
