I'm still trying to troubleshoot my problem with dovecot-2.0.11 and creating "mail/mail" directories for a reason unknown to me, so I enabled mail_debug. It's now printing this:
May 15 21:39:33 mail dovecot: imap(gdadmin): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /home/gdadmin/mail: mode=0755 gid=-1 May 15 21:39:33 mail dovecot: imap(gdadmin): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /home/gdadmin/mail/mail/INBOX. Trash
That file (INBOX.Trash) does exist at that location and is readable. It prints that line three times for each of INBOX.Sent, INBOX.Trash, and INBOX.Drafts.
Also notice that it is creating /home/user/mail/mail. My mail_location is set to "mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u", so I'm really confused.
Your client probably has set a "mail/" namespace prefix. Either remove that or add a namespace to make both work: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Namespaces
Also I don't understand why you would have stuff like INBOX.Sent. Usually it would be called just "Sent", i.e. /home/gdadmin/mail/Sent.
