A small SOHO system, of installed perhaps a year. Seems to be working and wished to add pigeonhole/sieve.
Per Pigeonhole/sieve troubleshooting in the docs, set on mail_debug = yes and this is what I see, upon launching Thunderbird as the client. Thought that "unknown user" and "permission denied" deserved attention before any other steps.
Just the dialog for one user is pasted below.
pid 475 is dovecot,vmail for dovecot imapd
This is what I see for /proc/self/io
