The mailbox name might be case sensitive in dbmail-export < 2.2.6rc1. See if that resolves the problem for you. Do you get output on stderr like: Exporting [1] mailboxes for [user] export mailbox INBOX -> ./user/INBOX.mbox or... Exporting [0] mailboxes for [user] ..the latter of which means that the mailbox is not being found, rather than indicating a problem with the IMAP search query.
