I've changed Dovecot's behavior now also:

x fetch * body
imap(tss): Error: Maildir: Symlink destination doesn't
exist: /home/tss/Maildir/cur/dgdgd
* 40 FETCH (BODY ("text" "plain" NIL NIL NIL "7bit" 0 0 NIL NIL NIL))
x OK Fetch completed.

So it logs an error but still goes ahead without disconnecting the
client.
