CREATE failed: Can't create mailbox

[Brian Densmore]

As root you could try using maildirmake on each directory you want to create mailboxes for.
Just make sure that when you are done making mailbox that you set the proper permissions
and ownerships for the users who will be accessing them.
That is if you are using maildir format. If that doesn't work, you should check:

1) that you are logged in with permissions to create the necessary directories,
2) that the directory doesn't already exist,
3) that the higher directories *do* exist.

That directory listed below is a very strange name for a mailbox directory name.

HTH,
Brian
