Is the client configured to keep the mails in the server or delete them?

If the client is configured to delete the mails, I think the only
possible reason is that the connection dies before the mails have been
deleted. So when that happens, it would be useful to know what exactly
the log says was the reason. Possible reasons are:

 - Logged out: A normal logout with QUIT command. Should have worked
correctly.
 - Disconnected for inactivity: This has sometimes been a bug in
Dovecot, but I'm not aware of any such bugs currently. It could also
just be a network problem.
 - Disconnected: The client disconnected. Probably a network problem.

Then there are also some other reasons which could be Dovecot problems.
