You probably won't need either of these. And there's no point in setting them to the same value.

Can you reproduce these easily with my imaptest tool? 
http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest

Some of them.  When running imaptest I see these dovecot errors:
Corrupted index cache file %s: record continues outside its allocated size
Corrupted index cache file %s: record points outside file
Corrupted index cache file %s: used_file_size too large

How soon? With what kind of imaptest parameters? I can't reproduce this on my Macbook (OS X 10.5.4, HFS+).

Plus I see LOTS of errors from imaptest itself:
Error: UIVALIDITY changed: %d -> %d

Did you test with a single user or multiple users? imaptest's support for testing multiple users is currently a bit broken, but this shouldn't happen with a single user..

Error: user%d[%d]: <...>: Header CC changed
Error: user%d[%d]: <...>: Header DELIVERED-TO changed
Error: user%d[%d]: <...>: Header FROM changed

These shouldn't be happening as long as you use a test mbox file that has unique Message-ID headers. Were you using the recommended dovecot- crlf as the input?

You say that the dovecot errors are harmless because dovecot fixes them, but still there must be some downside, if only a performance hit. Any other info I can provide to help you figure this out?


Yes, there's a performance hit since all the cached data is lost.
