I'm working on getting Dovecot set up on my school's mailserver, as an IMAP and POP server. Everything is going well, move over to maildir went well, and all that...
The catch: When I coverted from mbox to maildir (as part of this whole process), I put the Maildir folders under user home dirs -- and the home dirs are mounted via NFS from a server. This is for reasons of space as well as simply seeming to make sense.
Now I get errors in my mail.log which read: imap-login: Sep 16 00:16:24 dovecot:Info: Login: marlier [209.6.159.188] imap(marlier): Sep 16 00:16:28 dovecot:Error: file_wait_lock() failed with index file /Network/Servers/network.uphamscornercs.net/Users/marlier/Maildir/.INBOX/.im ap.index: Invalid argument
It looks to me like it's a file locking problem...any thoughts on how to get around it? I've already tried the dotlock mechanism alone...without success...
