dovecot-stable may handle mboxes a differently than 0.99.x, so I guess
these could happen (although they shouldn't.. I'd like to know if this
can be reproduced somehow?). In any case Dovecot should fix these and
you shouldn't see these more than once per each mailbox. If they appear
constantly for same mailboxes, there is a problem..

Probably somehow related to above error, but shouldn't happen.

Same here. Have to look at these.

Means the log file was recreated.

Strange. Is dovecot running over NFS or something?

Can you reproduce any of these problems easily or do they occur only
randomly?
