dovecot - Jun 2012 - migrating sql virtual 1 to 2, namespace configuration error: inbox=yes namespace missing

I'm trying to setup a new server on centos 6, from old dovecot 1.x

I installed  'dovecot --version 2.1.1' from dovecot rpm
I converted conf file as per migration specs, also, copied sql conf across

when I try to retrieve email, log has *1:

dovecot.conf -m *2 and sql conf *3 follows

Easiest fix: remove 15-mailboxes.conf

Alternative fix: modify this namespace to actually work. Probably adding
inbox=yes inside it is enough to do that.
