That's 6 lines every half hour.  That's not verbose.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 105026198 Nov  6 03:07 /var/log/imapd.log.5.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 112415573 Nov  5 03:07 /var/log/imapd.log.6.gz

Over 100Mb/day compressed is verbose...

;)

Seriously though - if something went wrong with checkpointing, you'd
appreciate those log lines telling you where it happened.
