Sven, I believe subscription have been lost while converting from cyrus to
dovecot, and I understand that I should use the commands shown by Daniel to
subscribe this folders one time server side, and my problems should be
solved no matter which clients I use (I put lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes
already):

doveadm mailbox subscribe -u user at example.com "*"

One more question: Should the user for "-u" be the system user the
mailboxes belong to or has the user to be written in form of an email
adress (user at localhost / user at n.dyndns.org)?
