Hi Don,

my problem seems to be related. I have the same kind of messages in my logs.

I am on an Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS v-server. Due to end of life, I build the 
services (facing to world) myself to fix CVEs. Apache2 and Postfix was not that 
difficulty - but Dovecot is. Luckily Dovecot 2.3.7.2 has no critical CVEs, yet!

(At the moment I can't upgrade to any newer version of Ubuntu, that is still 
supported :/)

I built dovecot 2.4.1 from source with following config line:

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/openssl" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib64" 
./configure --with-mysql --with-sql=yes --without-apparmor --with-systemd=yes 
--with-zlib --with-rundir=/run/dovecot-2.4 --with-statedir=/var/lib/dovecot-2.4
make
make install

It will install in parallel to 2.3.7.2 - with two systemd scripts I can start 
both version. For starting 2.4.1 I am using the default script that is 
installed at /lib/systemd/system/dovecot.conf

Install path is /usr/local

My config (reduced to minimum):
--- start ---
dovecot_config_version = 2.4.1
auth_allow_weak_schemes = yes
auth_mechanisms = plain login
auth_verbose = yes
auth_verbose_passwords = plain
debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-debug.log
dovecot_storage_version = 2.3.7.2
first_valid_uid = 155
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log
last_valid_uid = 155
lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes
log_debug = category=config
log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
mail_debug = yes
mail_driver = maildir
mail_gid = mail
mail_path = ~/Maildir
mail_uid = vmail
passdb_default_password_scheme = MD5-CRYPT
protocols = imap lmtp
sql_driver = mysql
mysql localhost {
  dbname = postfixadmin
  password =
  user = postfixadmin
}
userdb sql {
  query = <something>
}
passdb sql {
  query = <something>
}
service auth {
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
    group = postfix
    mode = 0600
    user = postfix
  }
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth {
    group = postfix
    mode = 0660
    user = postfix
  }
  unix_listener auth-userdb {
    group = mail
    mode = 0600
    user = vmail
  }
}
service imap-login {
  inet_listener imaps {
    port = 993
    ssl = yes
  }
}
service lmtp {
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp {
    group = postfix
    mode = 0666
    user = postfix
  }
}
ssl_server {
  cert_file = file.pem
  key_file = file.key
}
protocol imap {
  imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail
  mail_max_userip_connections = 10
}
protocol lmtp {
  postmaster_address = postmaster@something
}
protocol lda {
  deliver_log_format = msgid=:%{mechanism} %$
  info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda.log
  log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda-errors.log
  mail_plugins = sieve
  postmaster_address = postmaster
  quota_full_tempfail = yes
  rejection_reason = Your message to <> was automatically rejected:%{user | 
username}%{remote_ip}
}
--- end ---

When starting my mail client (Evolution), the connect to imaps works pretty 
fine. So authentication via mysql / postfixadmin is ok. But I just see the 
empty folders: Inbox, Trash, "Unwanted". With 2.3.7.2 I can see all folders 
with content.

Message in Debug Log: Sep 28 20:50:35 imap(supertest)<24384><zRuC>: Debug: 
open(/proc/self/io) failed: Permission denied (euid=155(vmail) egid=8(mail) 
missing +r perm: /proc/self/io)

This "error" message does not make sense. sudo -u vmail,dovecot,dovenull cat 
/proc/self/io works pretty fine.

The mails are stored at /var/vmail/domain/supertest (for account "supertest"):

Variable "home" is correctly set over DB query.

I have, without success, tried following:
* chmod go+r supertest
* experimenting with acl
* adding namespace / inbox

Any "fresh" ideas for me?
