Can you give me some specific examples of what the corruption looks like? For example you could put the mbox through http://dovecot.org/tools/mbox-anonymize.pl > I am not sure how to > debug this to find out whether this is a client or server issue and any > pointers would be appreciated. Client can't corrupt mailbox data no matter what they do. But it's possible that the user/client is doing something a bit differently than everyone else and that causes it. What OS and filesystem do you use? It's a local filesystem and not NFS or something? Does Dovecot log any errors (about anything)?
