Makes sense. I'm not a dovecot expert, but in terms of RHEL, have you checkd that the yum update didn't change file permissions, or enable selinux or do something like that?

I think your dovecot config has changed in some manner. Can you share the output of 'dovecot -n' please?

I suspect it's a config change that was put in place by the RHEL upgrade, which is why you need to provide the 'dovecot -n' output.

How did you compare them?
Can you see the mail using none IMAP based tools? What do the dovecot and postfix logs show? And what about squirrelmail? Check all your logs for permissions issues.

This smells funky, are there any *other* errors or warnings in the log file other than these types of messages?
