I think this is something that doesn't need to be fixed. The folder will eventually be created anyway. And adding a check to avoid its creation causes an extra stat() syscall for most mailbox formats (only LAYOUT=index avoids that). The extra stat() could even mean extra disk I/O in some cases. So I think it's better to just have it create the folder since that gives slightly better overall performance.
