Errors after upgrade to v2.3.17

[Aki Tuomi]

Hi Adrian, Aurel.

I am not sure why Adrian consider that .dovecot.lda-dupes would have been changed like this?

Your problem is that you have configured mail home and mail location to point to same place, causing dovecot to consider .dovecot.lda-dupes as a maildir folder. 

This is a very common misconfiguration, which leads into exactly this kind of issues.

The recommended configuration is to configure mail_location=maildir:~/mail to avoid this issue.
