A bit more detail:
I can do this: # doveadm mailbox list -A ... test_u Sent test_u Trash test_u Drafts test_u public test_u INBOX ...
But I cannot do this:
# doveadm mailbox status -A
doveadm mailbox status [-u <user>|-A] [-S
I found this: https://serverfault.com/questions/926034/do-i-need-a-dovecot-socket that suggested:
Dovecot probably already listens in the sockets, this is a common configuration for dovecot. Try this command to verify.
ss -ntpl | grep -e :143 -e :993
I tried it and got # ss -ntpl | grep -e :143 -e :993 -e :995 LISTEN 0 100 :::993 :::* users:(("dovecot",2572,42)) LISTEN 0 100 *:993 *:* users:(("dovecot",2572,41)) LISTEN 0 100 :::995 :::* users:(("dovecot",2572,27)) LISTEN 0 100 *:995 *:* users:(("dovecot",2572,26)) LISTEN 0 100 :::143 :::* users:(("dovecot",2572,40)) LISTEN 0 100 *:143 *:* users:(("dovecot",2572,39))
I found that /var/run/dovecot/doveadm-server is a socket but adding it does not help.
# doveadm mailbox status -A -S /var/run/dovecot/doveadm-server
doveadm mailbox status [-u <user>|-A] [-S
Am I missing something else ?

It can also be a tcp socket. Maybe give us bit more insight on what you are dealing with?
