I'll try it later if I can't find another solution. 1.2.11 is the latest
version marked "stable" in my distro.

Here's dovecot -n, with a little anonymization:

Good questions. Now I notice that it was added at the end (after
resubscribing) as "Public-NIB/archive.older", but there's no other "/"
appearing in the file!
Other folders look like "Public-NIB.archive.2010a" or "INBOX.office" etc. I
assume that folder originally had a "." instead of the "/" too.

If you want to know more history, I first used courier-imap, and later
converted to dovecot 1.1, and even later to 1.2. I guess dovecot 1.1 was
more lenient?
Anyway, please let me know the best way to fix the
configuration/subscriptions.

Thanks
Adrian
