I don't know what "invalid key" means, but "Internal error" seems to
come from Dovecot. Look for /var/log/mail.log (or something similiar) to
see the real error message.

I'm guessing the problem is that it can't create dotlock. See

It's possible, as long as the locking is set in same way. Both use at
least dotlocking by default which is enough to prevent corruption.
