Thought I'd still make one 0.99.10.x release now that mbox corruption problems are (hopefully) fixed.
I have yet to see from my testers if mailbox corruption still occurs.
So far I've heard only positive reports :)
I keep seeing the following message from time to time:

Could it still be a NFS-locking problem?
Hmm.. Just one second difference. Is it always one second?
Dovecot uses: mbox_locks = dotlock
If you don't use fcntl locking (and with NFS you probably won't), you'd have to enable mbox_read_dotlock, otherwise mailbox isn't locked for reading at all and that could cause problems. I think I'll make Dovecot complain about this if it's not done..
