I am not sure, but I guess you have already created the user inbox
before posting the email to the account. However, by design autocreate
patch does not function this way.
In order the create on post feature of the autocreate patch be
activated, no account at all must be pre-exist. If the mailbox has been
already created, then the patch is not activated at all. This is
probably the reason for not seeing any log messages.
Below I cite the conditions required in order the create on post
functionality to be activated:
Create on post
==============
This feauture provides automatic creation of a user's INBOX folder when
all of the
following requirements are met.
i) An e-mail message addressed to the user has been received.
ii) The recipient is not any of the imap_admins or admins accounts.
Note that passing e-mails to admins or imap_admins accounts from
the MTA to LMTP should be avoided in any case.
iii) The recipient's INBOX does not exist.
iv) The "autocreatequota" option in the imap configuration file
has been set to a non zero value.
v) The "createonpost" option in the imap configuration file
has been switched on.
The above text was taken from the patch's documentation at:
http://email.uoa.gr/projects/cyrus/autocreate/README.autocreate-cyrus-2.2
I hope this clears the situation out.
Cheers,
Christos

When autocreate fails, it logs the error message to your syslog. (be sure
you do not filter out warnings). The patch for cyrus-2.3.x also logs debug
info to check if the patch was invoked. Unfortunately debug info are not
printed for cyrus 2.2.12.

and on other systems where I have done this, the auto features
(autocreateinboxfolders, autosubscribeinboxfolders, etc.) all work. The
features used to work here but seemed to have stopped working and I
don't know why - which is why I upgraded last night.
Is there a way I can 'trace' where things are breaking down on the
'autocreate' features when I create a new mailbox and send the first
email to the new mailbox?

The wierd thing is that this setup worked when I set it up and for some
months and then all of a sudden, it stopped working. So I ended up
downloading latest SRPM from Simon and compiling it and installing it
but that didn't change.
So I cannot figure out what isn't working when I don't see any errors.
