after coping lda stanza into the config file, I get "unknown protocol name" error. adding lda to the list of protocols doesn't seem to do the trick.
This looks like you're running too old Dovecot version. Versions before 1.0.beta1 didn't like having "protocol lda" in dovecot.conf.
No, I'm running the very latest version. v1.0 beta2. Compiled with default options, just added LDFLAGS for ssl libs. Like I said /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver is present.
It is my undertanding that using dovecot-lda would help maintain the indexes in proper state ( as opposed to using procmail and having to rebuild indexes from scratch upon delivery of large amounts of mail ) ?
Well, not completely rebuild. It only adds the newly found mails.
With large mbox folders, 10000+ messages with delivery 10-15 messages per minute, I wasn't even able to connect to the folder at all. I would only get time out errors. Meanwhile, wu-imap worked fine with same folder, although not very fast. I assumed it was either a problem with locking ( fcntl - solaris) or index rebuilds.
Thank you for the reply.
