Hmmh. It's difficult to say anything. If it returns just "NO" it means
something returns a failure without setting any error message. That
really shouldn't happen..

It probably has something to do with not finding the maildir, or that
the maildir doesn't work for some reason or .. hmm. Do you use one or
multiple UIDs?

Try this:

MAIL=/var/spool/mail/username/Maildir /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap

and see if you can select inbox there?
