Sorry. I wasn't clear. The message did repeat for the same mailbox.
eg Mar 5 09:41:40 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=42304 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/Trash/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 5 09:41:44 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=42392 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/Trash/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 5 09:42:58 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=42480 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/Trash/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 5 09:42:58 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=11864 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/Drafts/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 5 09:42:58 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=11864 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/Templates/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 5 09:42:58 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=12964 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/Sent/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 5 09:42:58 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=42568 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/Trash/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 5 09:42:58 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=11864 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/Junk/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 5 09:42:58 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=11864 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/Outbox/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 5 09:42:58 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=60240 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/storage1/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size
I have deleted the .imap directories and the message seems to have disappeared.
Cheers and thanks, Stephen

No NFS. The file system is local.
Yes. There are multiple copies of the message for multiple mailboxes for each of at least two users.
But does the error keep repeating for the same mailbox? It's supposed to fix itself automatically after logging the error once.
Yes. Did recently upgrade from 1.2.15.
I think in earlier versions mbox used somewhat different index file structures and now Dovecot logs some errors about them.
Anyway, one sure way to fix this is to just delete all the .imap/ directories.
