Thank you Ron and Daniel.
We tried the mbox_lazy_writes=no option and it seems to work. It was the easiest thing to try.
We will now attempt upgrade to the Dovecot stable and switch the Inbox to maildir.
Thank you for your kind comments.

Would suggest not following the Debian Lenny stable version (1.0.15), but compiling the current stable Dovecot?
You can also use the automatically built packages from Stephan. They can be found here: http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/
More informations can be found here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/PrebuiltBinaries#Automatically_Built_Packages
Compiling Dovecot 2.x under Lenny is no problem but the easier way is to use the release from the above source.
Because Dovecot 2.x isn't available for Lenny or the upcoming version "Squeeze" you must use external repositories or compile Dovecot yourself.
I would also use maildir for all mailboxes instead of mbox for inbox...
