I think there's a problem with mailbox autodetection. If /var/mail/ hollen file ever gets deleted, Dovecot fallbacks to using ~/mail/ inbox. Set explicitly:
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
That hopefully fixes this.
That did not fix it. Thanks anyway.
Oh, now I notice you mentioned you use Pine to access the mailbox directly. That explains the error, since it uses the same headers as Dovecot. But I don't know why Pine would change the UIDVALIDITY, since it should be compatible with how Dovecot uses it..
One solution at least would be to make Pine access the mailbox via IMAP instead of doing it directly.
