[Dovecot] UID errors?

[Chris Wakelin]

Which version of Dovecot? I see these occasionally with
Dovecot-1.0-stable. Are there other programs accessing the files (other
than the MTA)? The errors are probably nothing to worry about. If you
see them happening many times for the same folder, it may be worth
deleting the index and cache files.

Timo has recently introduced fixes for mbox cache and indexes in
Dovecot-1.0-test78 (he recommends deleting existing cache files).

Best Wishes,
Chris
