I cannot understand how this could be dovecots problem, but evidently 
dovecot triggers this anyway.

This time when restarting tbird it started with trying to delete the 
1945(6) messages it successfully downloaded last time.
After issuing dele 1 .. dele 1946 it does RETR 1946 which plainly must be 
a tbird bug.
I cannot explain this as other than a tbird off by one bug which is 
somehow triggered by dovecot.

Ill try and have a look at thunderbird which i rather suspect is a beast.

Thanks,
Jens
