did you send a message to the user?

this is for "local" users, not virtual users. if you don't want
procmail, just remove this.

what matters first is postfix configuration. you should always send us
the output of 'postconf -n'.

if you don't want to send a welcome message, then you need to create the
Maildir when you add the user. because maildrop and procmail won't be
run until a mail is received.
instead, use a script to add users to your "database" and at the same
time, create the necessary maildirs and folders.
