Same here. From what I can find googling, it seems to be something 
between Outlook and Dovecot, but you know how googling can go when 
trying to find anything to do with email and outlook.

And yes, I've heard that ver. 1.x will fix this. I've had to rebuild 
several inboxes.. and it really is a PITA. When this happens, even 
SquirrelMail can see the mail. I move the mail out using another 
program, delete the mbox.. send in a test message to recreate the box, 
then move the mail all back in and everything if fine. Not bad doing 
this once, but not fun on a regular basis. I'm very much looking forward 
to the updated Dovecot, or I'm going back to cyrus or something else.
