dovecot-stable may handle mboxes a differently than 0.99.x, so I guess these could happen (although they shouldn't.. I'd like to know if this can be reproduced somehow?). In any case Dovecot should fix these and you shouldn't see these more than once per each mailbox. If they appear constantly for same mailboxes, there is a problem..
Since I wrote this, I have upgraded to 1.0-test63; see my other mail for why I can't compile -test65 :-). I am only running this for my own mailbox, not for the other users on the system, who are back on 0.99.13.

so it looks like for at least one mailbox, it does recur.
The only other message I've been getting with 1.0-test63 has been:
dovecot: Mar 15 22:00:18 Error: IMAP(njr): Fixed index file /usr/home/njriley/mail/.imap/Deleted Messages/dovecot.index: recent_messages_count 1 -> 0 [...] dovecot: Mar 16 17:19:18 Error: IMAP(njr): Fixed index file /usr/home/njriley/mail/.imap/Deleted Messages/dovecot.index: recent_messages_count 2 -> 0
dovecot: Feb 25 12:30:40 Error: IMAP(sachs): Corrupted transaction log file /home/sachs/Mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log: Extension record update update without intro prefix
Strange. Is dovecot running over NFS or something?
No, mailboxes are on a local disk (FreeBSD 4.10 UFS).
Can you reproduce any of these problems easily or do they occur only randomly?
I am loath to expose the users to these failures, but I will try again to test for a short period with 1.0-test65 or later once I get it to compile.
