[Dovecot] Timeout while waiting for shared lock for index file /var/mail/XXX/Maildir/dovecot.index
Hello,
I'm using dovecot v1.0rc23 for about 500 users since february with no particular problems. I'm using Maildir format and ldap authentication. A recently added user can't check his mails any more. In the logs I get
May 23 14:35:58 mailsrv deliver(XXXX): [ID 702911 mail.error] Timeout while waiting for shared lock for index file /var/mail/XXXX/Maildir/dovecot.index
The user connects with IMAP to retreive his mails. Currently I can login to his account with pop3 and retreive the mails, but when it comes to IMAP I get this error and no mail at all.
thanks in advance,
giannis.

There were quite a lot of fixes done since rc23, so I think you should try upgrading to v1.0. If that doesn't help, I can try to debug this further.
