Is something besides Dovecot modifying the mbox?

Do you mean the above error keeps coming back again and again? If so,
please put the mbox in such state through
http://dovecot.org/tools/mbox-anonymize.pl and send the anonymized mbox,
dovecot.index and dovecot.index.log files to me.

If the error doesn't appear again but the user still gets all the mails
again, there's something else weird going on..
