what form do dovecot .lock files take for mbox files under /var/spool/mail/%u currently i see username.lock with a PID:myservername owned by usersUID:usersGID

Dovecot uses that form, but I think so do many other programs also.

are you saying by having

#mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl #mbox_read_locks = fcntl

dovecot is not using locking?

I mean if you have:

mbox_write_locks = fcntl mbox_read_locks = fcntl

Which I think you said a few mails ago that you tried?
