 Both are still happening continuously.

If you're talking about errors like these:

Mar 10 18:21:38 imap(tss): Error: Log synchronization error at 
seq=1,offset=26896 for /home/tss/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index: Extension 
header update points outside header size

and the following fsck error, then deleting all of the .imap directories should 
get rid of them (maybe you didn't delete all of them? note that each 
subdirectory has its own, so there's more than just ~/mail/.imap/).

Anyway, this is now also fixed:

2012-03-08 Thread Stephen Davies
Yes that is the google thread that I saw.

I don't see the relevance of your reference to dsync.
As I read the man pages for dsync it is used to sync separate servers, to make 
backups or to convert mailbox formats.

When I upgraded from 1.2.15 to 2.1.1 I saw nothing in the doco to suggest that 
dsync was relevant to my scenario.

In a previous thread here (Log sync errors), Timo suggested that the migration 
fix was to delete all .imap directories.

My understanding was that this should fix any differences between 1.2.15 files 
and 2.1.1.
If that  were the case, mentioning the migration again would seem irrelevant.

However, it seems that deleting the .imap files did not fix the log sync errors 
or the fscking warnings.

Both are still happening continuously.

Cheers,
Stephen

 Is this thread what Google tells you?

 Timo is the creator of Dovecot, if you didn't know.  So you can take his
 words for gospel.  Also note his last statement in that thread:
 
 The next time you could do it with dsync to avoid these kind of
 problems.
 
 It would seem you omitted a very important detail from your problem
 report, which is that you recently performed a migration.  Please don't
 omit such critical details in future requests for help.  Provide as much
 relevant detail as possible.  This speeds the process up for everyone,
 and avoids guesswork on our part.
