Could you put the mbox file through http://dovecot.org/tools/mbox- anonymize.pl and send the anonymized mbox, dovecot.index and dovecot.index.log files to me? This would help me getting it properly fixed.
After that you could try if deleting dovecot.index* files would make it work again.
I would be happy to - thanks. One question however: there are many mbox files - the inbox istelf, in /var/mail and my other folder mbox files, in my home directory. How can I tell which is the offending one, that I need to send to you?
Well, if it happens directly after the client logs in, I guess

(http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html) and see which command crashes it.
Probably either a SELECT mailbox or a STATUS mailbox.
