I want to switch away from bincimap, and I am having some trouble getting dovecot up and running. Something isn't working (I suspect it's a permissions problem) but the logs aren't really telling me anything interesting.
I can authenticate and get a list of folders, but when I try to select a folder, I get the "Internal error" message that tells me to check the server logs. The server log shows:

How can I get better debugging info? I've tried all the debugging options in dovecot.conf.
You're showing only the debugging information, not the actual error message. If you don't see the error, it's probably because it's logged into different log file. Many syslogs are configured to write "info" messages to different log file than "error" messages. So try finding the actual error message from another file. If you can't find it, set log_path manually to some file and look there.
I tried that (I just tried again) and I get the exact same info in my manually specified /tmp/dovecot.log. I ensured that file was world-writeable just to be safe.
