Problem solved, I guess...
I think you will find your mailbox empty...
I recompiled from source and just replaced the dovecot binary in /usr/sbin. Trying to do 'rpmbuild -tb' and install the resulting rpm rendered everything unusable, but I guess that's just a matter of tweaking some options to 'configure'.
What's the difference between the Fedora Core 1 version (0.99.10-6) and the latest stable version (0.99.10.4)?
I guess the fedora core 1 version does not report with an error when dovecot can't open your mail file/folder. This is a separate patch for the release version.
Please note that the current dovecot version does not support dotlocking for all file actions, so NFS is probably not safe and will result in lock errors. (and lock errors can result in the error you were experiencing). I do know Timo is working real hard on getting dovecot to support dotlocking as well for all file actions.
