I'm trying to lock down a maildir from modifications using dovecot-uidlist.lock, but when a user with mailbox.auto = create logs in, then the folder is created regardless of dovecot-uidlist.lock existing or not. Is there no way to prevent dovecot from touching anything in a maildir folder? -- Tom

Apparently Analagous Threads
- mailbox.auto ignores dovecot-uidlist.lock
- crash (assertion failed: (uidlist->lock_count == 1)
- UID larger than next_uid in file /hosts/domain/user/dovecot-uidlist
- Dovecot 2.0.beta5: dovecot-uidlist: Duplicate file entry at line X
- IMAP maildir performance difference between dovecot-uidlist versions?
