In config.status I found my complete command-line for configure, 
including --enable-fulldirhash.

In config.h I found USE_DIR_FULL=1, but commented out. But also 
USE_SIEVE=1 is commented out and sieve is actually running, so I expect 
it to be a default value.

I manually renamed all the directories under /var/imap/user. By doing 
that I found that the mailbox files were stored under the wrong letters' 
directories (czernay.send under D). I also moved those files to the 
right directories and it seems to work now.

But there still must be some errors left, because now I can't access two 
  sub-mailboxes of my main account (IMAPD: Invalid Mailbox format). Also 
if I try to execute tools/rehash full, I get "converting configuration 
directory /var/imap...user couldn't remove l at (eval 1) line 311." - 
that I completly don't understand.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help
