Mail received but not indexed?
I have recently that some users are complaining about that they are not getting emails. While I see that they are delivered and in the inbox. When I do a doveadm force-resync -u xxxx INBOX it resolves the problem. I think this is something recent. Where/how should I resolve this issue?
Recent changes
- did some os updates 2019-08-27
- provider took away the ssd for index storage (maybe config issue having less iops storage?)
CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core) dovecot-2.2.36-3.el7.x86_64 mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:CONTROL=~/mail/control:INDEX=/var/d ovecot2/%u/index:LAYOUT=maildir++
PS during force-resync, I am getting these "index/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log was locked for 176 seconds" on some users

How do you deliver the emails then? dovecot-lda?

No, it is still old sendmail to /var/spool/mail/

You recommend I should change this? I have already a new setup where I am using[0]. But the current setup I have now was ok for many many years.

Using dovecot-lda is always better from dovecot point of view, but I think still your current config should work even if it is not optimal.
for some reason dovecot now does not detect changes on the mbox file and for that reason does not add new mails to index. But I can't say for sure for what reason.
