This is the real problem. It shouldn't be happening. Either something outside Dovecot is breaking mboxes in a way Dovecot doesn't expect, or Dovecot's index files are being broken, or locking is broken.
Are you using NFS? What other software than Dovecot touches the mboxes? Do users have direct access to the mboxes? Try changing lock_method=fcntl?
OK - more extensive testing today with
lock_method=fcntl?
Seems to indicate that this overcomes the problem I was having. I will now switch one of my servers (with a small number of users) over to FC5 (which includes dovecot beta3) and see if any problems arise - in which case I let you know!
Many tks for the help and also for the dovecot itself!
