Yes. # makes Dovecot lock the mailbox for the whole session pop3_lock_session = yes
Shouldn't be doing this I guess?
If you do it then a single POP3 session can keep the mailbox locked pretty much forever. If you don't do it, you're violating POP3 RFC, but I don't think anyone really cares about that..
I guess this setting should really use a separate POP3-only lock when it's enabled.
