What's your procmail recipe for delivering messages?  If you're storing
it directly to a mbox file, dovecot will never get a chance to see it
and update the indices.

An example of invoking LDA to store messages

 	:0 Hw
 	* /^From:.*dummy@/
 	| dovecot-lda -d yourusername -m dummybox

 	# Dump mail into my INBOX using dovecot's LDA
 	:0 w
 	| dovecot-lda -d yourusername
