Subject: with local imap: sent mail (Gcc) sometimes not saved

Hi, I’m using Gnus (from Emacs 24.4.1) with a local dovecot and
mbsync for synchronizing to remote IMAP servers [1]. This works
really rather well. There is, however, one problem: I set the
gcc-self Gnus parameter to save all outgoing mail. Usually this
works flawlessly, but from time to time I cannot find some message
that I know that was sent out successfully (I can see it in my
msmtp log, and I also already got replies to such messages). Do
you have any suggestions how to debug this? I noticed that
dovecot, when used directly through the /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
executable, does not seem to log anything. I tried to add the
command line parameter
-o log_path=/home/myuser/.dovecot.log
but nothing gets logged there.
For now, I've added "2>>$HOME/.dovecot.err" to the end of
nnimap-shell-program. Nothing has appeared there so far, so I'm not too
confident to be able to catch the problem in this way. Also, I'm not
even sure whether it's a dovecot problem at all. It could be also due
to Gnus itself.
It's disquieting to randomly and quietly loose mail. I'd love to fix this.
