[Dovecot] imap - mailbox in an inconsistant state

[Chris H.]

Greetings,
Please forgive me if this has already been answered. But it would
appear that the UID that is attempting to access the mailbox in question
is LOWER than the MINIMUM UID allowed in your dovecot.conf file.

Hope this helps you fix it.

Shameless self-promotion follows...
