Hello, I've two accounts on my mail server, and from my client
(Evolution) I've set up two configurations. If I dowload mail one
account at a time everything works fine, but if I download both of them
at the same time I'm not able to delete downloaded messages, so I
download them twice, three times and counting to infinity.
On th client side everything looks good:
-----------------------------------------------------

Message here...

DELE 1
+OK Marked to be deleted.
QUIT
+OK Logging out, messages deleted.
-----------------------------------------------------
On the server side I've enabled debug logging but nothing relevant comes
up, except sometimes an error:
Panic: Message unexpectedly expunged from index
Full log: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=bBizx9tm
But most of the times there are no errors and simply the message is not
deleted.
I'm using mbox format in /var/spool/mail/%u. The dovecot user has
read-write access to the folder (even because, as I said, if download an
account at once everything works fine).
I think it's about locking, I've tried several lock methods but always
the same result and I can't see dead locks from lsof, fuser or ls (for
dotlocks).
Thanks in advance,
venom00
