I did have some odd problems with Dovecot, but these are messages that
were already received by user A. He had them in a sub folder in his
Thunderbird email inbox (pop3). User B suddenly had random emails from
user A's sub folders appear in his inbox as unread messages. But they
were never delivered (not forwarded, not sent). None of the messages
from user As inbox that appeared in user B's inbox had user B's email
address (or name for that matter) in them. Seems very strange.
