That is not an error. That is merely a debug message indicating that the
vnd.dovecot.execute extension is unconfigured.

Don't enable that extension if you're not using the "execute"
command/test. Yes, it is in the example, but it has no function either.
Only the vnd.dovecot.pipe extension is actually used ("pipe" command).

The likely scenario is that the sa-learn tool is creating a hidden
directory inside the $HOME directory of the user for user-specific state
information. According to your mail_home and mail_location
configuration, that is the same directory as the INBOX mailbox. That is
why this may be interpreted as a mailbox by the maildir format. It is
generally a bad idea to have those equal; you should put the mail
location in a sub-directory of the home directory to prevent problems
like this.
