The EC2 instance that I run Dovecot on (personal mail server) was forcibly "retired" yesterday, and as a result I ended up rebuilding from backups. In the process I switched from Ubuntu Precise to Ubuntu Xenial (12.04 to 16.04), and this in turn caused me to upgrade Dovecot from 2.0.19 to 2.0.22. Now, although accessing mail seems to work OK using my various clients, I am seeing these errors in my logs:

I have deleted the dovecot.* files in the Maildir for all users (did this while Dovecot was stopped, then started it again), but the errors persist. They are especially frequent for one particular user. I can't figure out where the core file is, it doesn't seem to be in my home or in /var/run/dovecot
Here's my dovecot -n output:

Thanks in advance for any support you can offer!
