It logs the same information:

deliver(firstname.lastname at domain.tld): Jun 12 18:30:57 Info: msgid=<ECEMJFJEJPMECJKPPFBJEEBOCCAA.foo.bar at domain.tld>: save failed to INBOX
deliver(firstname.lastname at domain.tld): Jun 12 18:30:57 Info: msgid=<ECEMJFJEJPMECJKPPFBJGEBOCCAA.foo.bar at domain.tld>: saved mail to INBOX

This is taken from /var/log/dovecot-deliver.err, and all the log
lines before and after are "saved mail to INBOX" -lines.
