There must be something wrong with the mail delivery, because both sides should have uid=22 and uidnext=23 here. So replication rawlogs of a new mail delivery would be helpful..

Or there are some other strange things here also: The GUIDs are different for the mails, so it's as if the same mail was saved to both sides via LMTP instead of being copied to the other side via replication? Also the logs show an extra dsync run that seems to mess things up even further. The whole deletion operation did:

 - expunge uid=22
 - copy uid=23 from A to B
 - expunge uid=21 (the message was there twice?)
 - copy uid=23 from B to back to A (??)
