After adding a default - no namespace - mail location the warning no longer 
appears! Is it a bug or a feature: I thought defining a namespace with 
"inbox=yes" should be enought ..?

Here is the added line (from "dovecot -n"):

mail_location: mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/export/dovecot/%u
