dovecot - Apr 2009 - 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(test1 at xueron.com):Namespace
'virtual/': virtual: Root mail directory doesn't
exist:/home/data/test1 at xueron.com/Maildir/virtual
Apr 10 12:14:41 mail dovecot: Fatal: IMAP(test1 at 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 :)

'virtual/': virtual: Root mail directory doesn't
exist:/home/data/test1 at xueron.com/Maildir/virtual
So do you want to create some virtual mailboxes automatically, or do you
simply want Dovecot to ignore the namespace if the directory doesn't
exist?

I think create virtual mailboxes automatically is much better for me :)
I want to let users to set up there virtual mailboxes for POP3. So, a
default or template of 'dovecot-virtual' for auto-created virtual
mailboxes is good :)

If just ignore the virtual namespace, maybe POP3 users will make
RealMails/ namespace as the 'inbox=yes' one. :)

Thanks ...
