My dovecot stores users' emails on /var/spool/imap/<user> and stores the
messages index on /var/lib/imap/<user>.
I have many users who do not yet have their userdb_home directories
created on the server, because that is created at the time of first login.
I'm testing dsync for replication and have seen the following error:
dsync-server(<user>): Error: Couldn't create lock
/var/lib/imap/<user>/.dovecot-sync.lock: No such file or directory
The /var/lib/imap/<user> directory does not exist yet and I think this
is the cause. How can I avoid this error message?
