dovecot - Jan 2010 - how to create maildir on local mail delivery

Hi!

 

I am using Dovecot 1.0.10 with LDA/postfix option reading user data from
ldap, but the problem would be nonexistent maildir. Connection with ldap
should be fine since reading proper maildir folder. Is it possible to
auto creating maildir folders even on received mail since the you can
auto create when user login with mail_executable scripts as it's seen
from configuration I am doing for pop3 and imap.

This is your problem. You need to prefix it with "maildir:".

v1.0 might not make this easy..
