Hi,

I'm using dovecot 2.0.beta5 (IMAP and LMTP+sieve) and I'm getting lots
of errors like this:

Warning: /data/mail/4567/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist: Duplicate file entry
at line 3: 1274182284.M635158P16414.mail,S=767,W=785:2,S (uid 5 -> 16)

All data is stored on local disk (ext3, no NFS!). As this is a fresh
installation of dovecot I do not know if older versions work better.
One user complained about loosing email from inbox but I guess that's
probably a user error :)

I think that the error might be related to deliveries via LMTP as this
(new) functionality has not been tested extensivly (?)

Regards,
Chris
