What Dovecot version?

That error is returned for the first command after login if the mailbox
syncing failed (or locking it failed). Dovecot should have logged an
error in that case.

Anyway I don't see why zero byte files should be a problem for Dovecot.
I've often used them for testing, and just now couldn't reproduce this
problem. Maybe the actual problem is something else.
