    It was "user.", not "users." you are right. Anyway, I don't have to 
do any extra step for the user to be able to see their folders on their 
first login. They just login and see them. Have you taken a look at the 
logs? What mail client are you using? Are you using any of the name 
options (altnamespace, unixhierarchysep)?
