It's been a while so I don't have the logs any more except for what was in my
Sent folder........
As an example of what I am talking about, here is BB polling every 15 minutes in
the maillog:
Mar 5 03:06:09 mercury mail:info imapd[2085096]: Login user=sshore host=bda037.
bis.na.blackberry.com [216.9.249.37]

.bis.na.blackberry.com [216.9.249.252]
and here are some clients fighting over the lock
Mar 6 09:05:48 mercury mail:info imapd[970952]: Killed (lost mailbox lock) user
=xxxxx host=cpe-24-161-103-11.hvc.res.rr.com [24.161.103.11]

Mar 6 09:08:18 mercury mail:info imapd[2547784]: Killed (lost mailbox lock) use
r=xxxxx host=cpe-24-161-103-11.hvc.res.rr.com [24.161.103.11]
All I know is that I had some moderately important people screaming at me (I
even heard the word useless) that the mail service was %^$#ed up. That after I
made it dianetically clear (took 2 weeks) to them that there Must Only Ever Be
One Mail Client Open At A Time, they no longer had problems.

I don't know of any IMAP apps to get for a BB but if you come across
a good one, please post a note here.
LogicMail looks interesting but it won't do StartTLS which I need.
My setup uses mbox and I haven't seen any problems with multiple
clients. What is the problem that I should be having?
Thanks,
So am I. The only time I had a problem is if multiple programs are
trying to access the mbox file directly at the same time. As long as the
multiple clients all go through dovecot, I don't have any problems. In
fact, I often leave an instance of thunderbird running over my mailstore
at my main office, and will hit the same store from my lappy, or from my
other office.
I have also had thunderbird and outlook running on the same machine
looking at the mailstore while I try and reproduce an error that one of
my users is having, and although it can sometimes slow down a bit, I
don't see any problems.
