I am sorry, but this is not working.
As you suggested I have launched the imap commands:

a setmetadata ""  (/private/vendor/vendor.dovecot/http-notify 
"user=myuser at mydomain.com")
b getmetadata "" "/private/vendor/vendor.dovecot/http-notify"
c getmetadata "INBOX" 
"/private/vendor/vendor.dovecot/pvt/server/vendor/vendor.dovecot/http-notify"

the 'b' command returns a sort of json with the correct result
the 'c' command returns NIL

By the way,  hardcoding the key as 
"/private/vendor/vendor.dovecot/http-notify" and recompiling the plugin
has the effect to bring the system on the expected course.

Thank you again for your time and kind support.

Have a good weekend,
Giovanni
