I have no idea how you'd even get that error then.

I'm waiting to know the dovecot version but it could be that for legal reasons I will never receive it.

So please, if you know it obviously, why and when a dovecot server sends that notice?

Thanks, bye

Hi all, I would like to understand the meaning of "Stale mailbox lock file detected" In index-storage.c (https://mis.dopa.go.th/atmail/server_source/dovecot/src/lib-storage/index/in... ) there is this notice "Stale mailbox lock file detected" ...

I have a java application which connects via javamail to a dovecot server and I have some anomalies when that message comes.

Thanks, bye

This is third email you've sent about this...

doveconf -n

Also do you have some other process(es) that touch the mailbox?

Aki

Yes. I am one of them.

Thanks Aki, do you know if this list is read by dovecot developers team too? Could you point me to the right list otherwise?

It gets called when some imap process has left a lock file, but didn't clean it up (i.e. it crashed?). It means it cannot lock uidlist, but will notify if count of messages change.

It is not very simple to debug this kind of issue from outside.

So you don't know when this piece of code is executed:

case MAILBOX_LOCK_NOTIFY_MAILBOX_OVERRIDE: if (storage->callbacks->notify_ok == NULL) break; str = t_strdup_printf("Stale mailbox lock file detected, " "will override in %u seconds", secs_left); storage->callbacks->notify_ok(&ibox->box, str, storage->callback_context); break; }

...

Also do you have some other process(es) that touch the mailbox?

Without having access to this dovecot installation, I can't answer your question, but which could be the problem if there were some other processes?

I try to reformulate question, is it possible that when dovecot sends that notification, it blocks and don't send any other notifications like for example when the count of messages in a folder is changed?
