Well, that's something I don't think Dovecot should really do internally. You have two possibilities: 1) Create that directory structure immediately at the same time when you add the user to your userdb. 2) Use a post-login script (http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting) that does something like: if [ ! -d $HOME ]; then cp -R /etc/dovecot/template $HOME fi exec /usr/local/lib/dovecot And I suppose there could be also 3) a new plugin that does basically what 2) does, but I'm not really interested in implementing that.
