Hi,

Is there a way to associate a user's the login (imap-login) process
with the user's 'imap [' process? We are trying to lock down an

tools weren't particular useful.

Not really with v1.1, but with v1.2 you can use %e variable in
login_log_format_elements which expands to mail process PID. I guess
you could also try if the change happens to apply cleanly to v1.1:

Just for context, we are having an intermittent locking index cache
locking issue that appears to impact only a subset of our users.

What kind of a locking issue? Hangs?
