Home Directory Creation

[Asai]

Mr. Timo,

I would presume you are busy with many responsibilities, but might you 
have a few minutes to consider this problem?

Or is there any other Dovecot expert who may be able to offer advice on 
how to get the home directories created?  Thank you for those who have 
helped offer advice on this already.
