Creating Default Mailboxes Automatically

This is how you can create default mailboxes automatically when using Dovecot and Plesk…

nano /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mailboxes.conf

And add the following…

namespace inbox {
mailbox Drafts {
special_use = \Drafts
auto=subscribe
}
mailbox Trash {
special_use = \Trash
auto=subscribe
}
mailbox Sent {
special_use = \Sent
auto=subscribe
}
mailbox "Sent Messages" {
special_use = \Sent
}
}

Then restart Dovecot…

service dovecot restart

Now when you add an email user in Plesk these mailboxes will be created automatically for them.
