With this setting, all folders are empty, I guess understandable, because the mdbox has its own indexes stored locally with it. Does not explain though why inbox is empty.
[@ dovecot]# cat special-userdb test:x:8267:231:Account with special settings for dovecot:/home/popusers/test:/bin/false:userdb_mail=mdbox:~/mdbox:INBOX=/ var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/dovecot/%u/index
With this setting (withouth the INDEX set), mdbox folders are accessible and not empty, but I get of course the error on the index of mbox
[@ dovecot]# cat special-userdb test:x:8267:231:Account with special settings for dovecot:/home/popusers/test:/bin/false:userdb_mail=mdbox:~/mdbox:INBOX=/ var/spool/mail/%u

Is there a possibility of specifying only a index location for the inbox? It looks like if you add INDEX it is being used for everything.

You can't use LAYOUT=maildir++ here.

Are you intentionally mixing mbox and mdbox? You see that [0] has mbox, and [2] has mdbox.
