If you go to Webmin -> Servers -> Dovecot -> Mail Files, what are the "Index files location" and "Control files location" set to?

/var/lib/dovecot-virtualmin/index/%u

root@cartman:/var/lib/dovecot-virtualmin# ls -lah total 16K drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Feb 5 23:04 . drwxr-xr-x 50 root root 4.0K Feb 15 11:41 .. drwxrwxrwx 87 root root 4.0K Feb 13 19:49 control drwxrwxrwx 87 root root 4.0K Feb 13 19:49 index

Lots of files in index folder.

Ok, I think I see the issue here - the fix is to edit the file /usr/share/webmin/virtual-server/feature-mail.pl and delete line 2991, which reads :

                                push(@names, &replace_atsign($u->{'user'}));

then run /etc/webmin/restart

Let us know if that helps ..
