Courier will report no messages in the mailbox if it reads the maildir's new and cur directories, and does not find any messages.

It's not possible! We tryed ourselves, with an account WITH E-Mails, and sometimes we got this error!

You say "an account", so I take it this isn't just happening with the one user's mailbox that you first mentioned. But Sam is quite right about how the server looks for messages. Since Maildirs is file-based, it's really just a matter of whether the server sees files in the directories they should be located. Assuming that the files are indeed there, have you considered that you might be having an NFS issue?

You might try running tests of one or several of your seven NFS clients (mail servers) where they interrogate a maildir to see whether they are consistently getting the correct file list. I wonder, too, what would happen if the NFS server (FAS270) returned an error of some kind when the IMAP server was trying to hit the directory. Hmm...
