Hmm. Can you reproduce this? Like sending a mail while client has the
mailbox open?

I guess it just changes the timing and somehow happens to fix it.
I couldn't manage to reproduce it. Also this error has previously
happened sometimes because of a bug in dovecot-uidlist reading code. It
didn't really have duplicate entries, it just thought that it did. That
might still be the reason. Maybe you could apply the attached patch and
show me what a dovecot-uidlist.broken contains and the related log
message?
