Hi,
We have a few users experiencing locking problem. When starting
Thunderbird, there is no new emails in Inbox. Dovecot createa a lock file
/var/spool/mail/<user>.lock. It never completes openning Inbox. If closing
the mail client, the open imap session does not get closed, nor the lock
file get deleted.
Here are the errors in log:
dovecot: Oct 13 11:18:35 Warning: IMAP(user1): Our dotlock file
/var/mail/user1.lock was deleted (kept it 88 secs)
dovecot: Oct 13 11:18:35 Error: IMAP(user1): file_dotlock_delete()
failed with mbox file /var/mail/user1: No such file or directory
We are running Dovecot 1.1.2. Any pointer to resolve this problem is
appreciated.
Simon
