what form do dovecot .lock files take for mbox files under
/var/spool/mail/%u
currently i see username.lock with a PID:myservername owned by
usersUID:usersGID

are you saying by having

#mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl
#mbox_read_locks = fcntl

dovecot is not using locking?

if that is the case then there must be a race caused by the customer polling
POP3 too quick while procmail is trying to access the mailbox.
