dovecot - Jan 2010 - Next message unexpectedly corrupted in mbox file

Hi,

I am seeing this on one of my servers:
Jan  8 10:08:58 l1 dovecot: IMuser(user): Next message unexpectedly corrupted 
in mbox file /home/user/Mailbox at 10558

I have never seen this before, and google yields no results except when 
this warning was added to the source code here:
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2009-December/015177.html

The user has deleted all of the mail in the Mailbox but the problem 
persists.

Any ideas?

Justin.

Package: dovecot-imapd
Version: 1.2.9-1
Distribution: Debian Testing x86_64

Problem: See below.

..

Looking further I found this (which is when the problem began to appear in 
the logs):

First time:
Jan  2 09:33:25 l1 dovecot: IMAP(user): Next message unexpectedly 
corrupted in mbox file /home/user/Mailbox at 10599

Due to:

2010-01-02 05:00:29 configure dovecot-common 1:1.2.9-1 1:1.2.9-1
2010-01-02 05:00:29 status unpacked dovecot-common 1:1.2.9-1

2010-01-02 05:00:38 status installed dovecot-imapd 1:1.2.9-1

During an apt-get dist-upgrade..

Did dovecot 1.2.9 include this patch:
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2009-December/015177.html

So now one sees the message, whereas before, no message was shown? 
Nothing to be concerned about?

Justin.

Oh, you can reproduce it easily? If all mails were deleted, I'd think
the offset at least changes? What about if you delete dovecot.index*
files?

Hi,

I have not tried that, will try it and get back to you. (dovecot.index*) 
files.  Thanks!
