[Dovecot] Dovecot & (Al)pine - resaving messages to Inbox

Exactly. I sort by arrival time, which in practice is the "unsorted" ordering based upon the mbox file itself. (Except I'd like to control the arbitrary "unsorted" order that I want by "resave to inbox" to handle reordering.)

So I'm currently using: mbox_write_locks: fcntl
When I was using version 9 the relevant config setting was: "mbox_locks = fcntl", which plus the config suggestion "fcntl:  Use this if possible" led me down this path.

Does anybody know why this code was designed this way  / why it is different from 0.99 behavior / etc?
