Sorry I guess I was not clear enough, i'm working with virtual user directories, not 'real' users. I'm talking about this script in the maildroprc. The script does indeed called maildirmake. This is so directories are automatically created when mail arrives for the first time. The script is not doing that and returning an error instead. Basically i'm trying to do what many others have tried but few have actually done, have maildirs created by maildrop without patching or manually addidng the dirs. Thanks,

Does anyone know how to successfully create new a new maildir with

maildrop? Thanks,

The command to create mailboxes is:

maildirmake Maildir (do that in the directory where you want Maildir/ [usually in user's home directory)

then create the subfolders:

maildirmake -f Sent Maildir maildirmake -f Spam Maildir

as an example

You can also do that in /etc/skel so the folders are created for new users you later add to the system.
