dovecot - May 2013 - How the does "new" autocreate method works?

Hi,

I'm trying to migrate from the deprecated autocreate plugin to the 
mailbox { auto }setting without success.
What do I forget, or misunderstand?

I deliver mails via LMTP and log in on IMAP, neither of them create the 
folders other than the inbox itself.

The new method is creating the folders lazily to disk. They will be visible in
IMAP session, but they won't be actually created to disk until the folder is
opened.

Your config looks correct to me.
