found the error - i had a typo in dovecot.conf
lock_method: fnctl
should be
lock_method: fcntl
dovecot reload does not show a problem, only a stop/start generated the entry
in the logfile....
two days for a stupid typo....
thanks!

the server and the client are on the same layer2 network and there is no

i just figured out that it has to do with the nfs portion;
while incoming mails have no problems and are delivered correct into the
maildir on the nfs, it does not work when the client want to connect to
the maildir;
when i copy content from nfs-storage to the local harddisk it works;
Read these below, and post back if that doesn't help. Please remember to
reply to the list next time, not to individuals. I'm not an NFS guru, and
those who are didn't see your reply.
