Maybe NFS is caching Dovecot's stat() calls which check if the mbox has changed?
I will try to check whether this is the case. You mean the NFS client (FreeBSD kernel) caching, not the server (NetApp), right? Something like this happening on the server seems not to make any sense to me.
However I doubt that, as I've never had anything like that happening (we use FreeBSD and NFS all the time) - I'm using FreeBSD 5.4 on my workstation too, and there when reading mail (with mutt) I always see new mail.
