Bug description:

  audit.log, lots of entries similar to the following:

  type=AVC msg=audit(1335712674.515:655016): apparmor="ALLOWED"
  operation="getattr" parent=10922 profile="/usr/sbin/dovecot//null-107
  //null-10b//null-118"
  name="/home/foobar/Maildir/.foobar/dovecot.index.log" pid=10937
  comm="imap" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000

  The apparmor policy is as shipped with 12.04. The strange thing here
  is that audit.log says that the access was allowed and the apparmor
  policy has "flags=(complain)", but the imap server still fails
  accessing some files in the Maildir folders.

  Workaround:

  # ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.dovecot /etc/apparmor.d/disable/

  After disabling the usr.sbin.dovecot apparmor policy everything works
  fine. There is no need to disable the "usr.lib.dovecot.imap" policy.

  It looks like the imap process is incorrectly running under the
  dovecot main daemon's apparmor profile. And for some odd reason the
  profile is enforcing things even though it should be in "complain"
  mode. What are these "//null-NNN/" strings in the logged apparmor
  profile name? I do not know apparmor well enough to debug this further
  at this point.

  Someone else has encountered this also, see thread at:
