"Me too". I've tried every locking config option I can find (including good old .lock files), and still seem to have this problem periodically. It almost certainly is a locking problem, though I can't figure where.

It does seem that way, doesn't it? What version of dovecot are you running?
The best answer, of course, is Maildir! But alas... no resources to tackle that job. For now I have a script that scans all the mboxes for corruption every few hours and emails me if it finds it... which happens once or twice a week on average (it's not a huge mail server).
I'd be curious to see that script, if you wouldn't mind sharing! :-)
