Summary: Mailbox/Subfolder  Autocreation Problems with Courier IMAP

Initial Comment:
This is believed to only be relevant when using Courier IMAP

When adding a new mailbox to a domain and default IMAP folders to be created are specified in the config file

(e.g. $CONF['create_mailbox_subdirs']=array('Trash');

these folders are never created and an error is displayed.
The reason is that in create-mailbox.php, the IMAP commands to create the subfolders are issued _before_ the welcome mail is sent. However, when no welcome mail is sent, the users home directory is not present. Without it, Courier IMAP is not able to successfully authenticate, thus not allowing to create the IMAP directories.

The fix is simple, just move the function that sends the mail above the one that creates the subfolders. Adding a little pause, say sleep(1) helped me to get the mail through my filters (spam, etc) before the IMAP commands were issued. This fix was tested and found to be working.
