Hi Justin,
Does the problem persist?
Does it cause glitches for the user?
Does it cause some corruptions or it's just a line in your log?
Is it reproducible?

I think it is some kind of corruption of the mailbox, but I found weird
it persists after the deletion of all email. May be you should expunge
deleted messages from the mailbox.

Kind regards,
Marco
