I used to patch Courier IMAP to make directories on the fly in a previous life. That was for v1.7.3 but the patch should always apply with some fuzz (well, hopefully). Jason, let me know if you're interested. I doubt this, since that'll break swup updates and require you to build from source RPM, probably something you don't want. Another possible approach would be to just insert an extra program that creates the Maildir on the fly in the chain of programs Courier uses: couriertcpd imaplogin authdaemon <insert program here> imapd Maildir Then no source-level change would be needed, just a change in config file (e.g. add it to AUTHMODULES or modify /usr/lib/courier-imap/imapd.rc) and a separate tiny program to write. I have used this approach to succesfully implement a bulletin broadcast to all users by creating links in their Maildirs to a common file. Something like Qpopper's feature.
