OK! I undestend it. But now I have other problem.

My mailboxes placed on NFS dir (not root). After some time of work 
dovecot, this directory stay as unavalible. For example, /mnt/auto/home 
is NFS directory, /mnt/auto/home/nouser/spool/mail - mailbox directory. 
After some time I get not avalible /mnt/auto/home/nouser/spool/mail 
directory, but other top NFS directories (/mnt/auto/home/nouser/spool, 
/mnt/auto/home/nouser, ...) is good.

I think, this problem in lock mailboxes. I try fcntl and dotfile lock 
methods, but this problem present both. :(

dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.1 from RHEL4.
