Thanks. Will add it, and keep you updated.

I think this is a different issue. The logs (with the debug patch)
looks like this:

Jun 15 09:24:13 smtp1 deliver(user at domain.tld): mailbox_transaction_commit() failed
Jun 15 09:24:13 smtp1 deliver(user at domain.tld): msgid=<920880857.83287269771168 at mailserver>: save failed to INBOX: Timeout while waiting for lock
Jun 15 09:24:13 smtp1 deliver(user at domain.tld): mailbox_transaction_commit() failed
Jun 15 09:24:13 smtp1 deliver(user at domain.tld): msgid=<920880857.83287269771168 at mailserver>: save failed to INBOX: Timeout while waiting for lock

Dont't know if it matters, but this account has 22000+ messages ..
The other one I saw with the same error message had 15000+.
