Perhaps the NFS cache flushing doesn't work then for some reason. What OS (kernel) are you using on the Dovecot servers? How big values have you set to attribute cache?
On the client side, it's Linux 2.6.23.16. All attribute cache related values are at their default, as far as I can tell. The entry in fstab reads:
nfs-server:/srv/storage /srv/storage nfs rw,nfsvers=3,hard,intr,nosuid,noexec,nodev,noatime 0 0
I was just thinking that when you said there was no concurrent access did you also consider deliver processes and not just imap/pop3?
I just checked again. See below for an example of the logs for one mailbox.
