My apologies for not getting back to you...I was sick and out last week and am not exactly shining brightly this week :)
I rebuilt with the patch you specified. I made sure that my imap session from my TBird client to my production (DC V1.0.15) server was shut down, that it was reconfigured NOT to periodically look for mail, and I have rechecked since then to make sure that there are no session in the PS table for it. When I started up on my DC V1.1.3 test server, I got the following messages:

Since then, as I wrote a message, DC on the test machine coughed out an errmsg relating to the Drafts folder, which again makes sense as it also likely out of sync:
Sep 30 13:49:25 egg mail:info dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<sdean>, method=P LAIN, rip=10.20.10.169, lip=192.246.229.31 Sep 30 13:51:03 egg mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(sdean): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /home/hcrc/sdean/mail/Drafts (9422 > 9403, seq=607, id x_msgs=651) Sep 30 13:51:04 egg mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(sdean): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /home/hcrc/sdean/mail/Drafts (9422 > 9403, seq=607, id x_msgs=651) Sep 30 13:53:45 egg mail:info dovecot: IMAP(sdean): Disconnected: Logged out byt es=73/3631 So there are two possibilities
- That this just happens once (for any given folder), as long as the test DC server is the only one to ride heard on the folders and/or
- even so, these messages shouldn't happen and something is wrong.
I will watch it carefully for a day and see if I can confirm that #1 is true........
I have attached my original note with its copies of the dovecot -n output for both machines
