[Dovecot] troubles with broken clients (iPhone)

[Federico Bianchi]

Sorry if the question has been answered before, but I haven't been able to 
find any relevant topic on your mailing list archive.

We are using Dovecot 1.1.6 with legacy mbox storage on a mail server of 
ours; the trouble is, users connected via DSL with both a computer and a 
iPhone on the same wireless network experience broken connections - this 
is very likely a file locking issue, and as such might happen with other 
broken clients reliying on persistent connections.

My question: is there a way to tell Dovecot the lock is owned _only_ by 
the latest connection opened by the same user, therefore closing all the 
others?

Thanks a lot for both your help and for making such a great POP3/IMAP 
client available
