If you set mbox_read_locks=dotlock, it should get created whenever Dovecot is reading the mbox file. But it's created ONLY during those times. For example opening a mailbox whose index files are up-to-date doesn't cause dotlock to be created. And when the mbox is actually being read, the dotlock is deleted immediately after the IMAP command is finished.
It was confusing me crazy that imap waits to establish locks until the read or write action happens. I think I got things worked out now with all the right options. Thanks for all your help!
