dovecot - Jun 2012 - Problems getting auto create plugin to work

Hi there,

I've configured the 'autocreate' plugin (in v.2.1.6), but it
doesn't appear to be working. Can someone help me work out how to work out
why please?

I've got this in my 20-imap.conf file:

protocol imap {
   mail_plugins = $mail_plugins antispam autocreate
}

and this in my 90-plugins.conf file:

plugin {
  autocreate = Trash
  autocreate2 = Spam
  autosubscribe = Trash
  autosubscribe2 = Spam

   ... etc
}

But, the spam does not get created upon login. I've restart dovecot and
restarted my mail client, but there's no hint of an spam folder.

Is there something else that I also need to do?

Thanks,
Joe

Don't show us configuration file snippets, always paste `doveconf -n`
output.

Have a look at the mailbox definitions configuration file:
