In attempting to reactivate my IMAP communications with my Email Spool (NFS Mounted), I have gotten the following while attempting to download the Emails via POP3.

Yes, there is currently concurrent usage because the Mail spool is NFS
Mounted.
Here is the current configuration:
dovecot -n
# 2.1.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 3.10.54-server-2.mga3 i686 Mageia 3
base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/
disable_plaintext_auth = no
lock_method = dotlock
login_greeting = SpamZapper Email ready.
login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c
mail_debug = yes
mail_fsync = always
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
mail_nfs_index = yes
mail_nfs_storage = yes
mail_privileged_group = mail
mbox_lock_timeout = 15 mins
mmap_disable = yes
passdb {
driver = pam
}
protocols = imap pop3
service anvil {
client_limit = 1000
process_limit = 1
}
service auth {
user = root
}
service imap-login {
chroot = login
client_limit = 10
user = dovecot
vsz_limit = 256 M
}
service pop3-login {
chroot = login
client_limit = 1024
user = dovecot
}
ssl = no
syslog_facility = local2
userdb {
driver = passwd
}
verbose_proctitle = yes
protocol pop3 {
mail_max_userip_connections = 20
pop3_logout_format = top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s
pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu
}
protocol lda {
postmaster_address = postmaster at example.com
}
protocol imap {
mail_max_userip_connections = 30
}
For the time being, I have isolated usage of POP3 connections on a single
Servers, however IMAP is especially problematic.

This is significantly more information than what I can receive from 2.1.15,
but still does not resolve the communications issues.
Any help is certainly appreciated.

Hi!
Seems something is locking the index. Do you have concurrent usage between
two or more nodes for same user?
