We are using the Shared Mailboxes in Dovecot Cluster architecture so the user`s 
mailbox should only be accessed by a single backend. We have been running with 
this architecture for about 2  years with dovecot version 2.3.19 and we had not 
seen any `Inconsistency in map index` messages in the logs.

We had already increased the default vsize_limit to 512M for the lmtp process 
but maybe we have to increase it more if this error will be occurring 
repeatedly.
This is the relevant configuration stanza for the lmtp service for all backends.
service lmtp {
  unix_listener lmtp {
    mode = 0666
  }

  inet_listener lmtp-mod {
    port = 24
    ssl = no
}
  service_count = 0

  # Number of processes to always keep waiting for more connections.
  process_min_avail = 0
  process_limit = 0

  # If you set service_count=0, you probably need to grow this.
  vsz_limit = 512M
  client_limit = 1
}
But the question is what causes this inconsistency and if there is any change 
on 2.3.21 version that might have introduced it, because we did not get any  
similar logs on previous versions.
When this does occur is there a chance that a mailbox might get corrupted? Is 
the only way to safely mitigate this to wait for the index rebuild to finish?

Thank you,
Nikos Pyrgiotis
