Not creating mailboxes

[Paul Douglas Franklin]

Thank you, Gavin and Alain
Aah.  That points me in the right direction.  I don't even need to check 
the permissions on /kolab/var/imapd/spool/domain; it doesn't exist.  For 
some reason there is a /kolab/var/imapd/domain which contains a 
directory for one user whom I added and then deleted.  After I installed 
kolab, I added the user Douglas; Thunderbird could not access it and got 
hung up, so I deleted Douglas and added a user named Alexander.  In the 
misplaced domain is /y/yugm/d/douglas, but no /y/yugm/a/alexander. 

Thank you, Gavin and Alain, for asking the right question.

The permissions are right on these directories, but clearly Kolab is 
confused, putting them in the wrong place and not even creating them for 
the second user.  How best to straighten it out?

Since I found that smoking gun, is it still needed to do as Alain 
recommended:

then, can you activate this
http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Enable_Imap_protocol_logging

and search and report for error from these log ?
