Hi all,

I have a dovecot v2.2.7 installation, and I would like dovecot to autocreate 
the Maildir mailbox when those mailboxes don't exist. Following the 
instructions at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings have had no effect, 
the errors below are reported.

As soon as I create the Maildir manually with maildirmake fetching mail starts 
working fine, so all of the messages about the directory being ambiguous seem 
to be a red herring.

Anyone know how to turn this on?
