I guess you mean you ran it while users could still be making changes?

Those should go away automatically. Don't worry about them.
Also getting a lot of these..:

Message's flags were changed between two rsyncs, so the same message got transferred twice but with different filenames. Dovecot now created a duplicate message (since it thought that it's safer to create a duplicate than to delete a non-duplicate).
Those are just warning but should I do something with these as well?
They go away automatically too. Users might be annoyed at the duplicate messages.
And more like these..:
All of the index errors will go away too.

I should some day try to fix this I guess..
BTW, when moving from old server to new we upgraded Dovecot from 1.2.x to 2.0.5...
The next time you could do it with dsync to avoid these kind of problems.
Yes, it was run while users were making changes... But I discoverd the main reasons for this... Someone had started the rsync process again after we had started using the new server, which kind of "made a mess" of the mails on our new server.... :(
But dsync will be tried next time, thx... :)
