Are those users using procmail? And in MH mode instead of in maildir mode? That would be the most likely problem. It's not really an index corruption, rather it detects a maildir state that shouldn't happen and tries to recover from it. > I would like to see a feature of Dovecot to repair its own index. It does. At next login it should always be fixed.
