[Dovecot] messages_count too large (2578 > 2566) Help!

[Rob Frohne]

Hi,

I'm having trouble as of about noon today.  I noticed I wasn't getting 
any new messages in Thunderbird.  I restarted it and still nothing.  I 
looked at the log, and found nothing from dovecot for a long time (since 
perhaps noon today).  I restarted dovecot, but still it didn't get me 
new mail.  I finally removed dovecot.* in my Maildir folder and 
restarted dovecot.  I'm using 1.0alpha4.  Now I'm still not able to get 
the new mail, and I get the following messages:

I guess I won't be able to read any answers to this in my mailbox, but I 
should be able to read the archive on the web.  Please help!

Thanks,

Rob
