I have dovecot 1.1.16 running on Solaris 10. We are seeing problem with lock files taking forever to be removed after opening a email folder like Trash with several thousand messages in them. We use mbox format.

You mean dotlock files (e.g. "Trash.lock")? Does Dovecot log anything?

Is there something I can do in the config file to speed things up?

Are you using Dovecot deliver? If not, mbox_very_dirty_syncs=yes should speed things up with large mboxes.
