This means that for the mailbox dovecot.index file was deleted, but
dovecot.index.cache file wasn't. There might have been an earlier error
which caused the deletion. In any case this isn't an actual error
message. Maybe I should remove it completely some day.

It means that you're using a mix of UW-IMAP, Dovecot and yet another 3rd
thing that deleted the first message from the mbox file (or all
messages, or the whole file).
