	I have just tried it now, for the same problem with other user. But it 
didn't fix anything.

	The problem is that for some reason, dovecot is duplicating user mails. 
In the problem I'm having today, a user has 3833 distinct messages in a 
mailbox, but 122 of them are duplicated 19866 each, so a search in the 
folder shows 2228712 messages. A force-resync of the folder doesn't fix 
anything.

	What worried me the most is that this problem is appearing very often 
in my system (once a week at least).
