I did:

$ ./pre-inst-env guix system build -e '(@@ (gnu tests mail) %dovecot-os)'
/gnu/store/gpl6g2ia84kc41zma7ik9y4p3kik5aiy-system

Then:

$ guix gc -R /gnu/store/gpl6g2ia84kc41zma7ik9y4p3kik5aiy-system | grep dovecot.conf
/gnu/store/1ijjsm3sj8v0qj88fhlwqxgdszd6q6h7-dovecot.conf

And what I see in this file is now:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
namespace inbox {
type=private
separator=
prefix=
location=
inbox=yes
hidden=no
list=yes
subscriptions=yes
mailbox "Drafts" {
auto=no
special_use=\Drafts
}
mailbox "Junk" {
auto=no
special_use=\Junk
}
mailbox "Trash" {
auto=no
special_use=\Trash
}
mailbox "Sent" {
auto=no
special_use=\Sent
}
mailbox "Sent Messages" {
auto=no
special_use=\Sent
}
mailbox "Drafts" {
auto=no
special_use=\Drafts
}
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Notice that location is empty.  So that's at least different to your
findings, on latest commit.  Can you still reproduce?

Thanks,

Maxim
