I'm seeing these with latest 1.0-stable :

Do they happen repeatedly?
I had similar messages logged after I upgraded from 0.99.14 to the nightly-stable branch... but they happened only when I *first* visited *some* mailboxes. Comparing with backups of the mailboxes, it looked like the UIDs had changed (but not nearly as ominously as being inserted in the middle of something :-). I assumed that there was (in some circumstance) something wrong with the UIDs written by the earlier version.
I just deleted the .imap/*/* files, allowing those to be rebuilt. The "UID inserted" messages haven't recurred.
