Is it possible that the entire virus-al mailbox gets deleted and
recreated (while the mailbox is open)?
No.
There may be processes that delete files/mails from the Maildir,
though.
Do you have any "UIDVALIDITY changed" lines in logs?
# zfgrep -h virus-al /var/log/OLD/2009-07-*/pop3d-imapd.log |grep

That's all for last month
OK, that definitely means something's either deleting dovecot-uidlist
files or changing that mailbox's index files in some way, which then
causes the UIDVALIDITY changed errors and/or next_uid changed errors.
Neither should really be happening.. I can always try to get those
crashes fixed, but I think the underlying problem is some external
script or something.
