Without having access to this dovecot installation, I can't answer your question, but which could be the problem if there were some other processes?


I try to reformulate question, is it possible that when dovecot sends that notification, it blocks and don't send any other notifications like for example when the count of messages in a folder is changed?

Thanks Aki,

do you know if this list is read by dovecot developers team too? Could you point me to the right list otherwise?

I have no idea how you'd even get that error then.

Thanks but what answer it mean " doveconf -n"?

I have neither control nor access in the dovecot installation to which I'm connecting.

I'm waiting to know the dovecot version but it could be that for legal reasons I will never receive it.

So please, if you know it obviously, why and when a dovecot server sends that notice?

Thanks, bye

Hi all,
I would like to understand the meaning of "Stale mailbox lock file detected"
In index-storage.c ( https://mis.dopa.go.th/atmail/server_source/dovecot/src/lib-storage/index/index-storage.c ) there is this notice "Stale mailbox lock file detected" ...

I have a java application which connects via javamail to a dovecot server and I have some anomalies when that message comes.

Thanks, bye

This is third email you've sent about this...

doveconf -n

Also do you have some other process(es) that touch the mailbox?
