Hi I came across this error which happend immedately after a mail delivery to the inbox. Should I look for the problem externally to dovecot (ie. file system, operating system) or within dovecot? I never saw this error before installing 2.2.1, with 2.2.2 I seemed to get even more of them so currently back on 2.2.1

Are you using NFS or some other cluster filesystem with multiple servers? If yes, see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/NFS. If not, show doveconf -n and describe the setup more.
