No it wasn't.

The problem was that I forgot to remove a cronjob
 0 5 * * * rsync -4 --archive --delete oldserver.mydomain.no:Maildir .

So that job faithfully restored the maildir on the new server every
night to the February 6 state on my old server.

8 days of email lost forever, and noone to blame but myself.

Oh well!
