...a: Unfortunately, they still pop up. Since I suspect these errors to be responsible for customers complaining about downloading mails twice, I'd like to fix them. Our setup has multiple servers sharing the same NFS-mounted directory for maildirs and indexes; we have set mmap_disable = yes dotlock_use_excl = yes fsync_disable = no mail_nfs_index = yes lock_method = fcntl As far as I can tell, for at least one of these errors, there was no concurrent access to the mailbox in question. What can I do to solve this problem, or to analyze it further? Ulrich

...ps 5.1 actually, but with the latest centosplus kernel which fixes the nfs lookup bug in the standard kernels); and are not running any other nfs programs. The NFS server is a high performance NAS unit - no issues there. We're only using Maildirs; relevant config options are: mmap_disable: yes dotlock_use_excl: no mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: yes lock_method: dotlock maildir_copy_preserve_filename: yes Thanks, Mark

Dear Colleagues, I use exim's appendfile transport, procmail and a local mutt on my system, they all (to my knowledge) use lockfiles when working with mboxes. However, `doveconf | grep lock` says dotlock_use_excl = yes lock_method = fcntl mail_max_lock_timeout = 0 mbox_dotlock_change_timeout = 2 mins mbox_lock_timeout = 5 mins mbox_read_locks = fcntl mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl pop3_lock_session = no Do I need to change anything in dovecot's default locking setup? Does it still use lockfiles on...

I'd like to request some feed back from any OS X Mail Admins on the list, please. Currently running 10.4.9 here using postfix / dovecot and I'm about to take the plunge from mbox to maildir. I just migrated from uw-imap to dovecot. As you're aware, users inbox's are customarily stored in /var/mail/% username and personal folders under /Users/%username/Library/Mail/IMAP.

...ss of evaluating dovecot. I have a rather big testing environment with four dovecot director frontend instances and four dovecot backend instances. Mailboxes are all in mdbox format and stored on nfs. Indexes are stored locally. dovecot nfs setup for high performance is used (mmap_disable = no, dotlock_use_excl = yes, mail_nfs_storage = yes, mail_nfs_index = no). The remaining problem is, if i disable a backend server and the backend server which took over the connection already has some old index files, this index files aren't updated. If there aren't any index files all is fine and the inde...
