This is most likely because of outlook-idle workaround (enabled by default). When you have been IDLEing for 29 minutes, Dovecot sends a fake EXISTS reply and when DONE command is given, it sends EXPUNGE for that fake EXISTS. I don't understand why you have so many "OK Still here" notifications there though. They're sent 2 minutes apart from each others, but between EXISTS/EXPUNGE there should be max. 1 minute. Wonder if there's a bug in timeout handling code..
