These mean that X-UID header in the mbox file don't match what Dovecot was expecting to see based on its indexes. This shouldn't be happening unless the mboxes keep changing in very unexpected ways, for example if the mails are rearranged inside the file or if eg. older version of the mbox is restored from backups, or something similar.
Is anything else than Dovecot touching those mbox files?
No, but I have several users using the same mailboxes concurrently.
I fixed the problem (at least I'v got no more error messages):
- move away from "virtual" users (give each its own UID and homedir)
- mmap_disable = yes
- lock_method = dotlock
- default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
