Package: dovecot
Version: "mailbox doesn't exist" error on all folders after upgrade
Severity: important
Hello,

I'm not sure if this should be filed against dovecot or dovecot-imapd.

After today's package update run, which brought Dovecot to version 1:1.1.12-1, 
I could not access any of my custom folders in Thunderbird. The Inbox still 
worked, but any other folders returned "mailbox doesn't exist". (This includes 
folders like Sent and Trash.)

I'm using mbox and as a test created a folder called 'tst'. That created both a 
file called 'tst' and one called '(null)tst' in ~/Mail. Likewise ~/Mail/.imap 
contains 'INBOX' and '(null)INBOX'.

Reverting Dovecot back to 1:1.0.15-2.3 made the problem go away. I'm not sure 
what those '(null)'-prefixed files are or how to create them (couldn't find 
anything in the documentation and the changelog, but I might've overlooked 
something)

Here's my dovecot config changes:
