1. Create a new user, [EMAIL PROTECTED], using IMail Administrator. Note that it creates the users directory, but does not create any mailboxes (Main.mbx, Draft.mbx, Sent.mbx, or Deleted.mbx).
Fix: Administrator should have created all 4 mailboxes....
The mailboxes will be created automagically the first time email is sent to the mail address. Main.mbx and main.uid The Sent.mbx will be created and used if the person is using the web interface and has keep sent item activated.
2. Using web mail, log into the mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You will note that only 3 mailboxes are listed, (Main, Deleted, and Sent). However, Draft is a default mailbox. Draft is where a partially composed message is saved until I finsh composing it and send it to the recipient. At this time if you examine the users directory, no mailbox files exist in the directory. So either Draft IS a default and should be listed, or it IS NOT a default (so don't ever compromise me by automatically saving a file there when I click save).
Main.mbx is the default and will be created the first time you send an email to that address as well as main.uid.
Most of the questions you have posed all revolve around mailbox creation. These mailboxes get created the first time they are used. eg. If you have save sent messages checked, the first time someone sends a message, that sent.mbx will be created automagically and the mail saved in it. Same for drafts.
