Renaming to 15-mailboxes.conf.disable fixes the problem, as does adding a proper namespace inbox section with inbox=yes, but of course it is not possible to just overwrite 10-mail.conf during the package upgrade, and adding 15-mailboxes.conf is unconditional, so effectively the upgrade breaks dovecot and makes mailboxes inaccessible.


Unfortunately versions of dovecot 2.1.7 prior to -3 omitted several configuration files. 15-mailboxes.conf is one that should have been there all along. I'm sorry for the inconvenience but this breakage shouldn't happen again going forward. Adding an inbox namespace section is the proper course of action and one which should have been enforced with -1.


At the very least, the following line from 15-mailboxes.conf should be in the NEWS file
# NOTE: Assumes "namespace inbox" has been defined in 10-mail.conf.


Yeah I definitely need to  document this better.
