After some further investigation I've figured out a workaround/fix for
this problem.
Web-cyradm uses the function createmb() to create a new user's mailbox
(located in ./lib/cyradm.php). This function uses "create" to create a
user INBOX which works fine. The problem with this is that it that's
all it creates, and once a user has a INBOX autocreateinboxfolders
doesn't work. (It's triggered my either a new email or first login to
an account without an INBOX).
In order autocreateinbox to function, you must have absolutely no user mailbox created in your mailbox db.
From what I can understand from your email, you try to create the user using cyradm or web-cyradm and then expect that all folders are created by the autocreateinbox patch. In this case you have no success with web-cyradm/cyradm because it logs in using cyrus admin account and creates the user mailbox. Then when the user logs in with his/her imap client, INBOX already exists and no further creation takes place.
Using cyradm "create" from the command
line the functionality it identical. However, if you use "cm" instead
from cyradm it creates the INBOX and all subfolders set by
autocreateinboxfolders.
I suspect that when you login from console, using cyradm, you login using the user account and not cyrus administrator account. In this case the INBOX as well as subfolders are created by the autocreateinbox patch. That is why the create mailbox command fails.
To fix this I changed "create" to "cm" in the
createmb() function in cyradm.php. After testing it appears that makes
the create mailbox command fail (no errors!?) In effect you could also
just disable the call to this function in newaccount.php and it would
have the same effect. So since the INBOX doesn't now exist... and the
login info does... autocreateinboxfolders works as it's supposed to.
You just need to have it and "createonpost: 1" in your imapd.conf
file.

After some testing this appears to be an issue with Web-Cyradm. Using cyradm it creates the folders. Any ideas?

There's nothing in the log files that indicates a problem. If there was I'd probably be able to figure this one one. Autocreateinboxfolders just doesn't work. Here's the maillog entry for a new user logging in via squirrelmail though:
I think I see something here :
Dec 29 11:57:51 mail imap[14936]: login: localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] test2.testdomain.com plaintext User logged in
From what I can see you are not logged in using a virtual domain account. Rather you use the account test2.testdomain.com account which qualifies as a default domain account. If you logged in using an other than default domain account, you should have seen the following line in your log.
imap[8035]: login: localhost [127.0.0.1] [EMAIL PROTECTED] plaintext User logged in
Dec 29 11:57:51 mail imap[14956]: accepted connection Dec 29 11:57:51 mail imap[14956]: login: localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] test2.testdomain.com plaintext User logged in Dec 29 11:57:51 mail imap[14956]: seen_db: user test2^testdomain^com opened /var/lib/imap/user/t/test2^testdomain^com.seen Dec 29 11:57:51 mail imap[14956]: open: user test2^testdomain^com opened INBOX
The user test2.domain.com INBOX has been already created by web-cyradm and thus it is not created by autocreateinbox patch.
On the contrary when you send an email using postfix, then the email is delivered to user [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the INBOX is normally created in /var/spool/imap/domain/l/localdomain/t/user/testuser.testdomain.com.
Everything else is normal, if you accept my speculations.

By default Squirrelmail creates the folders Drafts, Sent, and Trash when you log in. That isn't logged anywhere I can see.

Hi,
could you please also paste the relevant part of the log file so that we can see the logs.
