We should be seeing folders for everyday so missing folders from 1Sept19 thru 15Sept19, then fro 27Sept19 to 31Sept19.

That what should be there  but isn’t that my understanding.

 

I am trying to understand where on the system it get that info. I don’t see it in the configs so It not making any sense right now.

Still not quite got my head around what you are expecting to see.
Presumably folders for other dates in September. Depending on how and
why those folders were created they may not exist.

I do note that you used an ls to show the folders, and I'm assuming from
the config below you are using Maildir, so try an ls -a to show the
hidden folders too (those starting with a .). This should show you
directories:

.16Sep19
.25Sep19
.26Sep19

each with a cur, new and tmp directory in, along with some other Dovecot
/ IMAP files such as:

dovecot.index.cache
dovecot.index.log
dovecot-uidlist
maildirfolder

If there are no directories for other dates then Dovecot is showing you
what is there. If there are checking the permissions are correct is a
good starting point.
