[Dovecot] Reconstruct a corrupted mailbox

[Cha Yang]

I had something like this happen and it was because I was using 
spamassassin and spamfilter.sh file was moving files around and setting 
the file permission incorrectly...

Webmail (apache user could not access the mail and it gave an error 
similar to that)

But check the mail log to be sure.
