So, he logs in, and sees nothing. The strange thing is Dovecot doesn't create any of the above directories nor indexes.

The only reason for this that I can think of is: The user didn't really log in to that server, at least using that username. (Or that the user initialization failed at login, but that would log an error.) Find the user's POP3 login line from logs.

Moving the mailbox back to the original server shows the same issue: no emails at all. Restarting dovecot on the original server resolves the issue.

The only effects that restarting Dovecot has is that it 1) reloads configs, which shouldn't matter in this case and 2) it kills of existing connections.
