I've finally solved the "odd filename" issue. If I run:

$ find . -name "dovecot*" -print0 | xargs -0 cat

I get to see the file. Is there some bug where dovecot has got a space 
or a NULL or something stuck on the filename? An "ls -Q" seems to 
confirm this:

$ ls -Q dovecot*
"dovecot "
$ ls -Q /var/spool/mail/gavin_imap*
"/var/spool/mail/gavin_imap"  "/var/spool/mail/gavin_imap "

Hope this helps.

Gavin.
