The key is the message "Error: user [email protected]: Initialization failed: namespace

This is somewhat of a moot point - the addition of maildir: breaks maildrop:

change to home directory. )

Is there a way to get dovecot autocreate to work without fiddling with the 
paths? For example, declare a global maildir default?

I have 15-mailboxes.conf  where there are statements

auto=create
or
auto=subscribe

commented out inside namespace segments. It is where all the special use mailboxes get defined. I think the default is probably no - I can create folders with thunderbird specifically, but I don't think it is creating them automatically. I have auto = create within my special use mailboxes, and they did get created automatically when I needed them (I was deleting Trash for instance, but it sprung back after I had done that when it was next needed.
