Anyway, you most likely don't really need to use dotlocks at all. Just make sure that your MDA uses fcntl locks and set mbox_write_locks=fcntl.
Will look. Right now I'm trying to move CONTROL to other fs where quota doesn't apply to see what will happen.
Done that and now I see a lot of " Expunged message reappeared, giving a new UID (old uid=10753, file=...)" ugh :-/
I guess now imap clients will see these as new messages?
Also ": IMAP(bo): /var/lib/dovecot/control/xxx/.INBOX/dovecot-uidlist: Duplicate file entry at line..."
Weird, these are fresly created control files and now they contain duplicates.
So all your control files were being recreated, but index files weren't? I guess that confused Dovecot somehow. The error messages probably aren't exactly correct, but you created a broken condition anyway. :)
Last question, what permissions are needed for /var/lib/dovecot/control/ if it's used as CONTROL= and users use different uid/gids? Right now I have a+rwx which doesn't look nice and root:root 660 also didn't make dovecot happy.
I guess you could make it also +t. There's really no better way since the directories aren't created as root.
