[Dovecot] Doubled mails and UIDs

Hi,

I'm still seeing mails being downloaded twice via POP3 in my setup,
running rc27. The log file shows:

dovecot: Mar 18 22:08:05 Error: POP3(joe): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /home/joe/Mail/INBOX (442671 > 80, seq=10, idx_msgs=153)
dovecot: Mar 18 22:08:05 Info: POP3(joe): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=153/1069109, del=153/153, size=1066449

The next POP3 connect will fetch most of the messages again.

dovecot: Mar 18 22:18:48 Info: POP3(joe): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=147/1006204, del=147/147, size=1003647

Is there a problem if an incoming message already contains an X-UID
header? Might it be worthwhile to remove this header when mails are
being delivered (e.g. with procmail)?



Thanks,
Adam
