Troubleshooting mailbox problems

[Nick Bright]

Greetings,

I'm running Dovecot 2.0.9 on my CentOS 6 server, for several thousand 
mailboxes.

Recently, I've had several reports of "my mailbox is suddenly empty, 
where'd my mail go?"

I've enabled debug logging, but I'd like to make sure I have the best 
level of debug to see things like "delete message" commands?

I've configured in logging:

auth_debug = yes
auth_debug_passwords = no
mail_debug = yes
plugin {
   mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete 
mailbox_rename
   mail_log_group_events = yes
   mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size
}

Does this look like a good start? I really think it's a client side 
problem, but sometimes end users always want to blame the server; and 
proof must be shown e.g. "Look, here's the log, you're sending delete 
commands."

At which point, we can proceed with dealing with their software problem.

Thanks,
