I have one account on our internal dovecot server that keeps throwing the same repeated error:
The user is on a Windows 10 computer running the latest version of Thunderbird. Here's the log:

I have tried the following: -Restarting the workstation directory on the server
- Compacting folders in Thunderbird
- Repaired the Inbox Folder in Thunderbird
- Restarting the dovecot service
- Set the connections in Thunderbird Account settings to not check for messages automatically (manual only)
- Set the user to own all folders and sub-folders in his home
I found old message in the archives from 2017 that had the same error but I did not see a posted solution.
dovecot --version 2.2.36 (lfl0bfa63)
config file:
[root@mario2 dovecot]# cat dovecot.conf ## Dovecot configuration file
# If you're in a hurry, see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/QuickConfiguration
# "doveconf -n" command gives a clean output of the changed settings. Use it # instead of copy&pasting files when posting to the Dovecot mailing list.
# '#' character and everything after it is treated as comments. Extra spaces # and tabs are ignored. If you want to use either of these explicitly, put the # value inside quotes, eg.: key = "# char and trailing whitespace "
# Most (but not all) settings can be overridden by different protocols and/or # source/destination IPs by placing the settings inside sections, for example: # protocol imap { }, local 127.0.0.1 { }, remote 10.0.0.0/8 { }
# Default values are shown for each setting, it's not required to uncomment # those. These are exceptions to this though: No sections (e.g. namespace {}) # or plugin settings are added by default, they're listed only as examples. # Paths are also just examples with the real defaults being based on configure # options. The paths listed here are for configure --prefix=/usr # --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
# Protocols we want to be serving. #protocols = imap pop3 lmtp protocols = imap pop3 # A comma separated list of IPs or hosts where to listen in for connections. # "*" listens in all IPv4 interfaces, "::" listens in all IPv6 interfaces. # If you want to specify non-default ports or anything more complex, # edit conf.d/master.conf. #listen = *, :: listen = *, ::

# Space separated list of trusted network ranges. Connections from these # IPs are allowed to override their IP addresses and ports (for logging and # for authentication checks). disable_plaintext_auth is also ignored for # these networks.

## ## Dictionary server settings ##
# Dictionary can be used to store key=value lists. This is used by several # plugins. The dictionary can be accessed either directly or though a # dictionary server. The following dict block maps dictionary names to URIs # when the server is used. These can then be referenced using URIs in format # "proxy::<name>".
dict { #quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext #expire = sqlite:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext }
# Most of the actual configuration gets included below. The filenames are # first sorted by their ASCII value and parsed in that order. The 00-prefixes # in filenames are intended to make it easier to understand the ordering. !include conf.d/*.conf
# A config file can also tried to be included without giving an error if # it's not found: !include_try local.conf
I need assistance. I appreciate the help.

For what it's worth... I know less than nothing, but a quick search turned up an apparent issue with cpanel which sounds similar:
