Topic: BUG - direcot

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release):
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer?
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL):
- Web server (Apache or Nginx):
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro?
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====

1.3.1 w/LDAP and Nginx

When I create new domains and emails (after the postmaster first), the directory structure isn't created (if I create mydomain.com, there is no /var/vmail/vmail1/mydomain.com directory).

I need to log in via roundcube to the new email 'newemail@mydomain.com' to create the directories.

This makes it a multi step process to restore backup emails to recreated mailboxes.

This is how Dovecot works, it creates mailbox when it's necessary.
You're free to create the maildir path manually with correct owner/group (vmail:vmail) and permission (0700). Or, simply perform a POP3/IMAP login to trigger the creation.

Re: BUG - direcot

Good to know.

It caused extra steps in restoring all the emails; I would have thought empty directories would be created as the email address is created.
