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. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

[Dovecot] Can virtual mailboxes created automatically?
Hi,
I set a virtual namespace, and for new users, there is no root dir for
it.
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix = virtual/
location= virtual:~/Maildir/virtual
list= no
hidden = yes
}
log:
Apr 10 12:14:41 mail dovecot: IMAP(te...@xueron.com):Namespace 'virtual/':
virtual: Root mail directory doesn't
exist:/home/data/te...@xueron.com/Maildir/virtual
Apr 10 12:14:41 mail dovecot: Fatal: IMAP(te...@xueron.com): Namespace
initialization failed
Apr 10 12:15:27 mail dovecot: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=26918 uid=0
code=kill)
How to do then?
Thanks :)
