[Dovecot] dovecot-uidlist locking

[Tony Tsang]

Hi all,

I've a dovecot server setup and occassionally clients cannot get mails
from their inbox. When I inspect the maildir for that user, there is
stale dovecot-uidlist.lock file, and imap process keeps waiting for
release of the lock. Is there any other method to perform locking on
dovecot-uidlist instead of using dotlock mechanism?

It is creating maintenance problems if I need to remove those stale
lock files everytime clients hit this problem

Tony.
