This is the real problem. Have to figure out why this seems to be
happening with people..

This has continued to keep happening to me, about once a day or so. Is there something I can do to help you track this down?

Sep 16 14:27:21 caddy dovecot: imap(jberry): Lost transaction log
file /Users/jberry/Maildir/dovecot.index.log seq 1
These then just happen because Dovecot didn't close the connection but
just left it there trying to constantly acccess the mailbox. Should fix
this too..
Once it gets in this state, the only way to recover from the failure
seems to be to delete the log files. The problem does not heal itself.
Killing the imap process works also.

No, actually that doesn't seem to work. I can kill and restart dovecot and the client (making sure all the processes have quit), and when I bring it back up it still complains about the lost transaction logs and won't let the client continue until the logs have been deleted.
