There a thread here discussing this error:

http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-February/037280.html

Bottom line:

"This means that "new" and "cur" directories were created to either
Maildir/cur/ or Maildir/new/ and since there should be only messages
Dovecot tried to handle them as files/messages. Dovecot didn't create
those directories. You probably misconfigured some other program at
some point which created those (or you did it manually)."

So, if you have /cur/cur and /new/new directories, delete the second
level ones...

Upgrading would probably be a good idea while you're at it... 1.0.7 is
very old...
