Still no clue on this even with debug set on. It's become so bad I need 
to restart it or new mail is no longer reported after a few days when 
the unseen has dozens of read mails.
I've no idea why it would need the keyword when I haven't done a search 
but I suppose the virtual plugin works by using the mail-search. Still, 
this shouldn't cause an error even if it is null. I'm suppose it could 
be caused by the number of emails being so great. Perhaps something is 
corrupt but as given, my dovecot-virtual files are as recommended by the 
plugin doco and nothing else seems amiss. If there is a corrupt mail or 
something then I don't know how to trace it.

Anything anyone?
