The problem is, you are asking for support for a version that is no
longer supported, just because it is  "current" in debians eyes, does
not mean it is so, 1.0 is deprecated, some time ago now.

But, apart from other obvious things, have your checked your disks for
problems.
Your config looks fine anyway, if you have not changed anything, no
other OS packaged updated recently, have restarted dovecot etc, checked
messages kernel and daemon logs as well, maybe, late at night issue a
'shutdown -F now ' to force checks.
Upgrading to at least v1.2  (.15 is current) will give you some
performance boost with pop3 over 1.0x
