mailbox locking

[Victor Sudakov]

Dear Colleagues,

I use exim's appendfile transport, procmail and a local mutt on my 
system, they all (to my knowledge) use lockfiles when working with 
mboxes.

However, `doveconf | grep lock` says

dotlock_use_excl = yes
lock_method = fcntl
mail_max_lock_timeout = 0
mbox_dotlock_change_timeout = 2 mins
mbox_lock_timeout = 5 mins
mbox_read_locks = fcntl
mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl
pop3_lock_session = no


Do I need to change anything in dovecot's default locking setup? Does 
it still use lockfiles on mboxes or not? There are some contradictory 
parameters IMHO.
