I think it's related to the change in the cache files.

I had a customer who couldn't see any mails in their inbox, what so ever -
there were plenty of files in the cur/ folder though.

After a bit of "wtf is going on here", I removed the dovecot* files in the
maildir, and then it worked fine.

I think I will take the consequence and simply make a script to nuke all
dovecot cache files in my maildir folders.
