[Dovecot] Lost email where did it go...?

[Romer Ventura]

It mostly works, sometime it creates them, others it doesnt... The  
thing is that the users never delete an email, even when they put it  
in the trash, it has been set up to never delete them, so unless i  
manually erase those email every 6 months they will never be erased.  
It is just not there..
