This is probably the cause of all your problems.
http://wiki.dovecot.org/MboxProblems explains what it means.

Are you maybe changing the INBOX's location? For example if Dovecot
sometimes accessed INBOX from /var/mail/example, and other times from
~/mail/inbox this could happen. But why it would use two different
INBOXes I don't know.

Then again there still were a few mbox bugs in rc26. You could try if
the upcoming rc27 fixed them. It'll be released tomorrow, or you can
already get basically the same version from
