Actually I took a look inside the folders right after starting up and waited for two hours to let Dovecot work.
So two hours after clicking on an IMAP folder the contents of that folder were still not displayed correctly?
Saving the whole Maildir into a tar on the same partition also took only 2 hours before.
This doesn't have any relevance.
But nothing did change and when looking at activities with top, the server was idle, dovecot not indexing. Also I wasn't able to drag new messages to the folder hierachy.
Then something is seriously wrong. The fact that you "forced" the Wheezy Dovecot package into a Squeeze system may have something, if not everything, to do with your problem (somehow I missed this fact in your previous email).
Debian testing/sid packages are compiled against newer system libraries. If you check various logs you'll likely see problems related to this. This is also why the Backports project exists--TESTING packages are compiled against the STABLE libraries so newer application revs can be used on the STABLE distribution. Currently there is no Dovecot 2.x backport for Squeeze.
I would suggest you thoroughly remove the Wheezy 2.0.15 package and install the 1.2.15-7 STABLE package. Read the documentation for 1.2.x and configure it properly. Then things will likely work as they should.
