Did the user (or his client) move those messages to some other mailbox or were they lost in INBOX?
The issue has been experienced on 3 or 4 messages (I switched the user on another server (dovecot 0.9) as soon I saw that, so I don't have much material to examine).
One seemed to have been lost in the INBOX (a message for which there was no TB filter), 2 or 3 were supposed to be (should have been) automatically moved by a simple thunderbird message filter (such as "from foo@bar" go to "foo" mailbox). But they did not show in the destination box.
I don't think it has happened with maildir either. There was a bug for a while in non-released CVS version where messages saved through Dovecot weren't properly saved into maildir.
I read on the list an issue were messages weren't actually lost but found in some temp directory (but, again, I'm using mbox, not maildir).
Just greeping the mbox file (or all of the user's mboxes) should show if it's still there.
We opened the INBOX with mutt -f on the server, saw the messages, then they dissapeared (not sure if we had already left mutt or not), from the server and were not seen on the client.
But I don't succeed in reproducing the phenomenon.
