I did even more, adding a couple of explicit namespaces as explained in the wiki:
namespace private { separator = / prefix = location = maildir:%h/Maildir } namespace private { separator = / inbox = yes prefix = "#mbox/" location = mbox:%h/MBox:INBOX=/var/mail/%u hidden = no }
Without this of course Dovecot doesn't understand that the INBOX is in mbox format and the user repository is instead in Maildir format. If I undesrtand properly the comments in the sample configuration file default_mail_env has no effect when such namespaces are set. BTW I also tried with default_mail_env uncommented and set to empty to no avail.
Apart from the changes above the configuration file is pretty much the one supplied with the default distribution. Another hint: the package has been built from the source RPM supplied with fedora devel. I know for sure that the fedora package includes a couple of patches to the base source. If you think that they might be related to the problem I can check which kind of patches are applied.
Thanks for your help,
Denis Sbragion
