Actually my thought was (from a systems administrator point of view) the less I have to do the better, (at the same time, trying to make life easier).
I agree. At present, uw-imap and (IIRC this was done for 9.1) courier-imap, if you add a user to the system, their mail works (with no further mess).
yes and you get mail for mister rpcuser actually delivered :(
By taking advantage of an LDAP environment, and using PAM, if I create an LDAP account, virtually everything else can be done automagically. /home directory can be created, samba shares can be created & assigned (although I haven't gotten that far yet).
you can script user/mailbox creation at the same time you script addictional activities dealing with user creation/renaming/removal.
auto mailbox creation may only solve creation, but does not deal with removal or renaming.
IMHO this should be in a user administration frontend, not in an imap daemon.
