Hi all,

I have some trouble: multiple copies of mail

What exactly does this mean? The same mail exists multiple times in the mailbox?

and error messages:

IMAP(contact): UIDs broken with partial sync in mbox file /var/mail/contact

This error by itself doesn't cause any problems. If you have mbox_very_dirty_syncs=yes it can happen "normally". I guess I should fix it some day, but it doesn't really hurt anyway.

If you have mbox_very_dirty_syncs=no, then it sounds like your lock settings are wrong. See http://wiki.dovecot.org/MboxLocking
