Do you use NFS? If so, are all clocks synchronized? What Dovecot version?
Hi Timo,
Yes, it is on NFS. Version is 1.0.2. Does the time matter?

Oh Yes.. I mean the time sync between the file server and the dovecot server. :-) what if there is a few seconds differences between the two?

You're serious??
Time is *always* important on a mail server - and even more so when NFS is involved...

Fix it! Run ntp or an equivalent on all servers that use NFS or handle mail. It is that important to keep them in sync.
