I reported a problem with disappearing emails on my Apple Mountain Lion server. Not sure if it ever stopped but I do know it is happening again.
Help!!!! This is a company email server. They live and die by their emails.
Emails show up in inbox and then disappear.
Anyone know why our emails are disappearing?
I see a reference to it in the dovecot.index.cache file (last item)

I searched the filesystem and cannot find them.

I believe I turned on all debug and info messages.
Here is what I see in postfix log:
