Makes sense. I'm not a dovecot expert, but in terms of RHEL, have you checkd that the yum update didn't change file permissions, or enable selinux or do something like that?
old (before upgrade) dir was like this (from backup):

new dir is now like so (maybe this gives some clues to someone, altho I assume the dovecot guys would understand the changes that have been made - I tried to dig thru changelogs to some level):
drwx------. 2 dave dave 221184 Apr 17 02:28 cur -rw-rw-r--. 1 dave dave 80008 Apr 16 13:33 dovecot.index -rw-rw-r--. 1 dave dave 2113444 Apr 16 13:30 dovecot.index.cache -rw-rw-r--. 1 dave dave 29992 Apr 17 02:34 dovecot.index.log -rw-rw-r--. 1 dave dave 450 Sep 15 2017 dovecot.index.thread -rw-rw-r--. 1 dave dave 3192 Aug 26 2019 dovecot.mailbox.log -rw-rw-r--. 1 dave dave 227210 Apr 17 02:28 dovecot-uidlist -rw-rw-r--. 1 dave dave 8 Mar 28 09:31 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r--. 1 dave dave 0 Nov 14 2016 dovecot-uidvalidity.582a6a04 drwxrwxr-x. 5 dave dave 4096 Mar 28 09:31 DRAFTS drwxrwxr-x. 5 dave dave 4096 Aug 28 2019 .DRAFTS drwxrwxr-x. 32 dave dave 4096 Mar 2 2019 .INBOX drwx------. 2 dave dave 4096 Apr 20 18:13 new drwxrwxr-x. 5 dave dave 4096 Mar 28 09:31 SENT drwxrwxr-x. 5 dave dave 4096 Apr 15 19:21 .SENT drwxrwxr-x. 5 dave dave 4096 Mar 17 13:22 .SPAM -rw-rw-r--. 1 dave dave 728 Aug 26 2019 subscriptions drwx------. 2 dave dave 6 Apr 20 18:13 tmp drwxrwxr-x. 5 dave dave 4096 Mar 28 09:31 TRASH drwxrwxr-x. 14 dave dave 4096 Sep 11 2019 .TRASH
no config changes were done, just binary updates.. I compared configs against the backup to check
Can you see the mail using none IMAP based tools? What do the dovecot and postfix logs show? And what about squirrelmail? Check all your logs for permissions issues.
I put the old subscriptions file back and do (pure dovecot at this point):
[dave@vm1 ~]$ doveadm mailbox list SENT TRASH DRAFTS SPAM INBOX
(SPAM was an old folder I had created many years back, other than it, everything had been created as folders under INBOX)
subscriptions (snippet)
SENT TRASH DRAFTS INBOX/Facebook SPAM INBOX/Amazon INBOX/Linkedin INBOX/bills INBOX/ADT INBOX/food INBOX/money INBOX/art INBOX/pets ........
doveadm log errors
alot of errs related to the previous folders that used to work
