I ran imaptest for just a few minutes and saw all these errors in that
time. Default imaptest parameters except for user/host names etc.

This error happens with clients=1, clients=10 and clients=100.

I passed in your dovecot-crlf file to imaptest, but the message store
was cloned from elsewhere first. So you're saying that dovecot only
works with special hand-crafted input, and not with real-world mail?
Hmmm.... :) :)
Actually I do see plenty of duplicate Message-ID headers in the mail
store (not from your input file). I'll investigate that further.
Thanks for the tip.
