namespace...mailbox doesn't exist

[Timo Sirainen]

So there is no such folder as "projects.projects"? I don't know why Thunderbird would try to open it then. Maybe it wasn't Dovecot upgrade but Thunderbird upgrade that started breaking it?

You could also see if LSUB "" * lists a "projects.projects".
