I see a variety, but a sample:

Dec 31 11:09:26 bubba dovecot: IMAP(mgillespie at amfes.com): Corrupted 
transaction log file 
/var/mail/amfes.com/mgillespie/.Trash/dovecot.index.log: start_offset 
(20200) > file size (20184)
Dec 31 11:09:30 bubba dovecot: IMAP(mgillespie at amfes.com): Transaction 
log file /var/mail/amfes.com/mgillespie/.Trash/dovecot.index.log: marked 
corrupted
Dec 31 11:09:34 bubba dovecot: IMAP(mgillespie at amfes.com): Unexpected 
transaction log desync with index 
/var/mail/amfes.com/mgillespie/.Trash/dovecot.index
