You can use postfixadmin-style maildir. it works well too.
Mixing two styles is not recommend.

All right, then i must create new users with the script and use postfixadmin just to modify their properties. Otherwise it won't respect the directory structure, is that right?.

Maildir format created by postfixadmin is always domain.ltd/user/

The one on the post name, irm 0.5.0-rc2. I'm just using postfixadmin to add new users/mailboxes to the virtual domain. I'm not using that script you said (at least not directly).

Yes indeed, but about the path, why the first account created during install has one, and the others other completely different :S

P.S.: I'll do the same and remain with the doubt

I have a new problem now lol, i changed the default value for storagebasedirectory in mysql table as you said, in the first account created during install this value is /home/vmail, so i put that value as default, and all new accounts take it without problem, but path on the first account (info@) is this:

/home/vmail/c/ca/ca*********/i/in/inf/info-2009.07.22.15.53.30/

and on the rest of the mailboxes that i created is:

/home/vmail/ca*******/username

So obviusly those path doesn't match . Any clue about how to fix it? or why first account has that complicated path?
I was thinking on delete the first account and re create it so it matches the general maildir. No idea if it will break something :?.

You can set a default value with mysql command:

mysql> USE vmail;
mysql> ALTER TABLE mailbox ALTER storagebasedirectory SET DEFAULT '/home/vmail';

After execute above command, you can use 'desc' command to check it out:

mysql> DESC mailbox;
+----------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------------------+-------+
| Field                | Type         | Null | Key | Default             | Extra |
+----------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------------------+-------+
| storagebasedirectory | varchar(255) | NO   |     | /home/vmail         |       |

All right, about the problem, where is defined the variable "storagebasedirectory"? so i can change it for all to work fine every time i add some new user?

iRedMail script set is *NOT* need anymore after installation, you can move it to other directory or even delete it.

One (maybe dumb) question, i installed iRedMail from /home/user/iRedMail-0.5.0-RC2. Then, after installation was done, i moved iRedMail folder to /home/user/Installers/iRedMail, that has anything to do with the failure? in other words, is anything from the original installation directory used again (or referenced) during the normal server function? for example that create_user script in ../tools?, because maybe was my mistake for moving installation folder...

You have to modify tools/create_mail_user_MySQL.sh, set correct 'STORAGE_BASE_DIRECTORY' before you create new users.
