Does that mean, assuming a sql backend, that, once a new account has been added in the users table, someone has to manually issue the maildirmake command in a shell?
Only if the process that adds a new user doesn't do that itself.
Since you already have a process that creates a new user entry, I would expect it to complete the job and set up the account as well. Why would it stop without the job being completely done, and force you to do it manually?
Because I imagine the equivalent of my current Postfix+MySQL setups, where you can add an account by simply adding a row in the MySQL table (phpmyadmin), then Postfix creates the base maildir for that account on the first message received.
That only works well until the mailboxes get moved to a network mount, and one day the server gets rebooted and, for whatever reason, can't bring up the mount. Then, the mail server starts happily delivering mail and creating mailboxes on the local disk, rather than holding everything in the queue until somebody fixes things.
Automatically creating mailboxes, if they don't exist, should not be a mail server's task.
