Mailboxes were migrated recently using dsync with pop3 migration plugin.
What mailbox format is this with? I can only reproduce this by forcibly making 
sure that pop3.order field doesn't go into dovecot.index.cache field. Anyway .. 
this should help: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/59decc957b39
Ah sorry, yes. All mailboxes are maildir. Forgot to include the SQL configs. I guess I can send you the uidlist. This is happening when she is deleting a message that is still from the old server, i.e. a migrated message, which has the O field set in dovecot-uidlist. Presumably it would stop happening when the last of those is gone.

I'll read through that commit now..


So also add something like "uidls=%u" to your pop3_logout_format. This will use 
up a little bit more memory by storing all the UIDLs in memory. The %u output can 
sometimes be used to debug why POP3 clients are redownloading messages.

Your commit message says: "..can be completely avoided by using either pop3_lock_session=yes or adding %u to pop3_logout_format." If I understand you correctly, this is a setting for formatting the entry in the log file, and by using %u I'm forced to save the UIDLs in memory and as a side effect I circumvent the problem of colliding with another simultaneous pop3 client? So using %u would not help troubleshoot the problem but actually fix it?
