Hi ,

My users are frequetly getting the below error,

Aug 21 00:04:18 blade6 dovecot: pop3-login: proxy(hgl_dipak): Login failed to 192.168.1.43:110: [IN-USE] Couldn't open INBOX: Timeout while waiting for lock.

We are proxing pop connections from one pop server (dovecot version 1.1.20) i.e 192.168.1.39 to the other pop Server (Dovecot version 2.0.16 ) i.e 192.168.1.4.


We have set  pop3_lock_session = yes and dont want to disable it.

Please Help !! :)
