You must have somehow deleted it. When opening INBOX, Dovecot creates the .INBOX/ directory and .imap.index under it. That error message comes when it's unexpectedly lost. I can't really think of reasons why, unless you manually did it..
I'm not intentionally deleting anything. Could it be that the file or directory is never getting created? Is there something else I can try? Do the permissions of the maildir or parent folders matter? I thought that since dovecot runs in root (unless chrooted) that couldn't be it but I'm out of ideas.
I tried telneting into the server with no success either...
