Actually it /had/ been there and I moved it to inbox while trying to find
the problem.

So, change reverted (excerpt from doveconf -n):

mail_location = maildir:/home/mail/user/%u

namespace inbox {
  inbox = yes
  location =
  prefix = INBOX/
  separator = /
  type = private
}



Now dovecot-lda is complaining about duplicate namespaces (still only
when run as vmail; run it as root and it is working):
