Did some tests with the fix, not sure it works correct/as expected:

$ time doveadm fetch -u user at domain.tld hdr mailbox Public/Mailing-Lists/Dovecot uid 1039
real    0m0.053s

$ time doveadm fetch -u user at domain.tld hdr mailbox-guid adeffe1c8b7ba64bb3770000a998a2df uid 1039
real    0m0.418s

It takes considerably longer when using 'mailbox-guid' compared to mailbox name, wonder why that is…

I'm also not sure why it would recursively mangle all 'dovecot-uidlist' files within the namespace (it does in a public maildir namespace). This is really dangerous when missing the proper -u parameter. Say you run it as 'root' and it should be run by 'vmail' really, then effectively all 'dovecot-uidlist' files will be owned by the wrong user afterwards… (root vs. vmail).
