Problem resolved. There was a spam filter on the network that access the mail server that was interfering.

I found the problem in Dovecot. It was an illusion that Thunderbird works. Where in Outlook there are certain emails that stop synchronization, Thunderbird continues but without loading the specific emails. I have copied content from a good email to the one that errors out due to "connection reset by peer" to no avail. However, renaming the Dovecot created file name resolves the problem and the email can now be viewed. The original file name that does not work in Dovecot and renamed to:
# mv 1691104011.M395237P16733.mail\,S\=2180375\,W\=2208740\:2\,S 1691104011.M395237P16733.mail

I manage IT for a small office with about 10 workstations. Dovecot has been installed for years and is now at 2.3.4.1-5 (Debian). I just discovered that the user cannot see many emails in the inbox. I was alerted when email was not appearing to be coming in for many hours. Other users observed the same thing. On investigation, I noticed many inbox emails missing in the Outlook GUI from times past that were on the server. It appears to be a broken client (Outlook 2019) to me but troubleshooting has yielded no solid leads. The profile and OST files have been re-created many times with no change in outcome. Each time, the inbox does not synchronize about 40 most recent emails but does for the last one for the day before and many before that.
It may well be an Outlook issue so I'm looking for information to work around an Outlook bug if necessary. Thunderbird works perfectly. Also, interestingly, I can copy email from Thunderbird (or move emails on the server) to a temporary directory form the inbox, then move them back and they will appear if I don't move too many at a time.
