It must have written it to dovecot-err.log. The code looks like this:

	i_error("Couldn't init INBOX: %s", errmsg);
	client_destroy(client, "Mailbox init failed");

So before logging the "Mailbox init failed" it always logs the "Couldn't
init INBOX" to the error log. I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't
have done that.

Are you sure the mail was ever even successfully written to the maildir?
Are you using Dovecot's deliver to deliver the mails?
