As far as I understood the docs, dovecot still uses the .subscriptions
file in our case: we do use the 'mbox' format to store the mails, not
'maildir'.
The '.subscription' file is being perfectly read in (so it must be found),
only when attempting to make any changes to the subscriptions, it vanishes.
-> see last posting (answer to timo's feedback) and the included
truss dump.
thx for your feedback, cheers, Alain
