But I don't think that locking works well. In pine I get the following error messages: Unexpected changes to folder (try restarting)
Why do you let Pine use the mbox files directly instead of going through IMAP? That'll probably give you faster mailbox opening times as well.
Yes, in theory a good idea. But i don't want to enter a password again when I want to access my mailbox when I'm logged in through ssh.
Is there a secure possibility through imap with pine without entering a password on the local host?
Yes. Pine is able to use "ssh host imap" method to start the imap server. Maybe that's configurable somewhere? So you could replace that with: dovecot --exec-mail imap
If it's not configurable, then make a script to the location it tries to start, and make it execute dovecot.
