dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent
Problem solved by going in manually. The log message appears for empty "public" folders. Say, you have a folder X with subfolder Y, where X does not contain any e-mail. The log message disappears if you drop an email into X, then remove it. Puf, gone! So, there seems to be a baby bug in how dovecot manages the index in this case.

It's more about how dovecot handles empty pvt file. We have an idea why this happens but no fix yet.
