The message did repeat for the same mailbox. eg Mar 5 09:41:40 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=42304 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/Trash/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 5 09:41:44 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=42392 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/Trash/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 5 09:42:58 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=42480 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/Trash/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 5 09:42:58 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=11864 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/Drafts/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 5 09:42:58 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=11864 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/Templates/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 5 09:42:58 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=12964 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/Sent/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 5 09:42:58 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=42568 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/Trash/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 5 09:42:58 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=11864 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/Junk/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 5 09:42:58 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=11864 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/Outbox/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 5 09:42:58 server dovecot: imap(scldad): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=60240 for /home/scldad/Mail/Mail/.imap/storage1/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size
