I thought this whole issue was about automating the process so that the
admin did not have to pre-create any files or directories; Exim will do
the whole job. But if I do what you suggest, then the admin will have to
pre-create the main new/tmp/cur files in case the first message is for a
subfolder. So if those have to be pre-created, what have we gained?
Might as well pre-create everything.
