These pretty clearly say that the new/ directory doesn't exist. I've no idea why, but since that's the INBOX I can't think of a way Dovecot could cause this.
Neither I. I reported this issue because is VERY VERY strange. The Linux installation on server is quite simple, there are half a dozen users and nobody puts his hands on the server. What drives me mad is that I cannot reproduce the error, nor I can relat the error to anything. :(
And here you for some reason have a "cur/:2,ST" directory. This sounds like the new/ directory was renamed to cur/:2, Dovecot recreates the new/ directory again so this problem fixed itself the next time the mailbox was selected. Except the :2,ST directory doesn't get deleted unless you delete it manually.
BINGO! Your evaluation of the situation is 100% exact. The annoying side of this situation is that the mailbox is unusable until the :2,ST directory is removed.
I am going to install 1.0.1, I hope that the things will get better.
Ciao, luigi
