Hi Guys,
Since few weeks, our email server based on Dovecot and Postfix has been
returning this error with some users without any changes made to the
configuration:
mailserver dovecot: imap(user)<1115049><sEfO8d8nm/1dIlwX>: Error: Mailbox

The strange thing is that the issue seems to this impact only some Users and
looks like the error disappear after restarting the server, and reappear few
time later.
