Oh, I was wrong. The uid=error simply means that the UID is unknown for some reason. Possibly an internal bug.. The mail got saved just fine. Some backends like saving to a virtual mailbox will also give uid=error. So anyway, back to the original question: This log message doesn't indicate any error. The problem of some mail not being saved is somewhere else, possibly in MTA configuration?
