Hello!
I run the following environment: UW imapd pine sendmail procmail mbox format
I migrated from UW imapd to dovecot. It is pretty faster than UW imapd. To ensure a compatible environment I did the following configuration changes in /etc/dovecot.conf:
protocols = imaps
default_mail_env = mbox:~:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
mail_full_filesystem_access = yes
mbox_read_locks = fcntl mbox_write_locks = fcntl
But I don't think that locking works well. In pine I get the following error messages: Unexpected changes to folder (try restarting)
Also when I delete a file in the imap inbox I can't see that immediatly in pine (even when I restart pine the message is still there with a "Deleted" flag.
With UW imapd locking worked perfectly but performance was very bad.
What is the best configuration in a dovecot/pine/sendmail/procmail/mbox format environment.
Thank you for the answer.
Ciao, Gerhard
