So, index files are stored in NFS and it's timeouting. Do you have
multiple computers accessing simultaneously the same users' mails?

I'm guessing the problem here has to do with NFS lockd, since normally
dovecot.index file can't be write-locked very long. Try setting
lock_method=dotlock. And you have mmap_disable=yes, right?
