Can you look at what Dovecot is doing while those .lock files exist? You
can get the process pid from the .lock file and then do:

truss -d -p <pid>

And what process is it that's keeping those .lock files long? The same
imap process that's trying to open the mailbox?

It means it shouldn't make a difference if it's set or not. But I guess
you could try if enabling it happens to help for some reason..
