[Dovecot] mdbox and pop3 locking
With mdbox, what does dovecot lock when "pop3_lock_session(pop3): yes"?
Specifically, I'm wondering if Dovecot LDA is able to deliver mail when a session is locked, if using mdbox, or if it will tempfail until the session is unlocked?
Thanks, Ken

Unfortunately it will tempfail. This is something I'm planning on changing soon. There should be a separate POP3-only lock.

Awesome! I haven't migrated to mdbox yet, but in testing with it on a dev server, it looks like it will solve a huge problem. Users seem to want ever larger mailboxes, and mdbox gives them that, without asking more than additional disk space. Fixing the pop locking would be an additional benefit!
