I have run into a few that cannot create the mail file automatically,
particularly those that use ~/Maildir ... what's why I added the option
in Webmin to create it automatically.

However, when using Sendmail and delivering to /var/mail/USERNAME, the
file will be created for the user when mail arrives..
