I don't know whether this would be considered any kind of bug. The Debian package allowed me to upgrade Dovecot without warning me that the rules for mail_location had changed.
If anything its a packaging bug, or even a PEBKAC error (failure to read release docs), but it is certainly not a dovecot bug.
Above all I am grateful I have solved the problem with help from this list.
I somewhat agree with you about the source of the problem (if any) and will pursue it on the Debian lists.
I have now looked through the latest several news entries without finding an entry about this change. Do you know when it happened or why my mail system (fetchmail - exim4 - dovecot - thunderbird) would work for many months until the upgrade to 1.1.11?
Thanks,
Paul
