Yes, I have:
mailbox Trash {
special_use = \Trash
auto = subscribe
# next needs dovecot 2.2.20
# autoexpunge = 2 weeks
}
mailbox SystemFolders {
auto = create
# auto = subscribe
}
However, I would think that only applies to mail delivery or POP3/IMAP access. Are you saying that all doveadm -A commands will
create Maildir and 'auto=create/subscribe' folders? Why did it not create '~/Maildir/SystemFolders'? I did hit Ctrl-C as soon
as I saw what doveadm was doing.
Again, I don't think SEARCH should create any directories. Maybe have a doveadm CREATE for that purpose? I am not the creator
nor a developer of Dovecot; just one user with an opinion. If they think this is the correct behavior I'm fine with that.

SEARCH has to open the Maildir. Dovecot has the feature to create mailboxes on
the fly on access, not only on write accesses. If
Dovecot wouldn't, you would get lots of "Invalid Mailbox" errors, because -A
enumerates users, you want to skip.
Actually, if you cannot limit -A with Timo's hints, you might try to override
the userdb setting via -o command line options
with a passwd-file, in which you list only "valid" users.
BTW, now I have:
/var/cache/akmods/Maildir/.Trash
you probably have autocreate for Trash? But you will see Maildir for all users
anyway.
