Thanks for the explanation Timo :)
As the migrated server with dbox and mail_attachment_dir is only a temporary step, to replicate into our regular server with mdbox, I have now a script listening on the errors and creating symlinks for the change mailbox guids.
Sending a periodic "doveadm replicator replicate -f '*'" triggers the errors and the script fixes them. Only a matter of a little time and I should be done with it.

Made some progress, the attachments are not lost, the new Dovecot server (it was a migration from 2.2.19 to 2.3.15 on a different host), searches them under a partially different filename:

So the questions are:
- what is that 3rd part That's the mailbox GUID. dsync and replication is supposed to preserved them. You could check them with:
doveadm mailbox status -u user guid '*'
- how could it have changed by the migration
- is there a way to force it back to the existing file-names Looks like they have changed. You could change the GUIDs afterwards also:
doveadm mailbox update -u user --guid <newguid> mailboxname
BTW. The GUID can also be used to see its creation timestamp:
578fed299419c150550c0000838cbfe1 = Fri 7 Dec 00:17:56 EET 2012 e8584c2cf5a10b61640000007dc04144 = Thu 5 Aug 11:31:49 EEST 2021
Using guid2date.sh:
#!/bin/bash
guid=$1 hex=
printf $guid|cut -c 9-16|sed 's/\(..\)\(..\)\(..\)\(..\)/\4\3\2\1/'dec=printf "%d" 0x$hextime=date -d "1970-01-01 UTC $dec seconds"printf "$guid\nhex: $hex\ndec: $dec\ntime: $time\n"
