I am using dovecot 0.99.14 as an imaps server with mbox folders (in an NFS-mounted directory) in x86 Debian testing. I have searched the archives of this list and have seen other evidence of the problems I am having. I get lots of log messages like these:

Dovecot's index files don't like living inside NFS mounted directories. With 1.0-test releases they work much better after you change a couple of settings, but still not perfectly. Maybe just put the indexes to local disks:
default_mail_env = mbox:~/IMAP_MBOX_DIR:INDEX=/var/lib/dovecot-indexes/%u
Thanks for the suggestion. I will try that.
We did change to Debian package version 0.99.20050712 and the behavior has been much better but not perfect, as you say (and I didn't change any related settings from the defaults).
