IMAP RFC mandates that if UIDVALIDITY changes then the whole mailbox needs to be resynced. Dovecot then tries to delete INBOX for resync, but INBOX deletion is not allowed.
The only way to recover is to clear out the target completely and restart from beginning.
btw, 1454614013 = Thu Feb 4 20:26:53 CET 2016 and 1569836245 = Mon Sep 30 11:37:25 CEST 2019
so did you actually create INBOX on target system before the initial sync?
