Yes that's correct. Look at the owner/group of the file/folder in question, and compare that to the id in /etc/passwd for the user on the old vs the new server. Also confirm that messages are actually sending and not suck in /var/spool/mail/<user>, (centos/redhat/oracle/rocky) or wherever your spool directories are on your system
check /var/log/messages or your default log location for clues as to where things are going or if there are errors, and check /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf for logging details.
You may want to increase the logging verbosity for a time to track down where the messages are going.

If you using Thunderbird I would try repairing the folder, (under properties) or compact folders. That fixes a lot of issues for us.
The only other thought I had was maybe the UID of your use for the sent folder was different from the old to the new server, and the mail is still trying to be copied to the old uid?

Thank you for your hints, Chris. I didn't know that Thunderbird had a repair option. Sadly it didn't work this time, but I will keep it in mind for the future.
I'm not exactly sure if I understand you correctly. Do you mean the filesystem uid as in user-id/owner of the folder or is there something that I don't know of.
