Hi,
i have a problem with rc19 (sorry, i have no time at the moment to uptime) and homedirs and maildirs mounted via NFS on Solaris10 .. dovecot: Feb 15 21:17:55 Error: POP3(ssal0041): Timeout while waiting for shared lock for index file /home/ssal0041/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index
So, index files are stored in NFS and it's timeouting. Do you have multiple computers accessing simultaneously the same users' mails?
I'm guessing the problem here has to do with NFS lockd, since normally dovecot.index file can't be write-locked very long. Try setting lock_method=dotlock. And you have mmap_disable=yes, right?
