Hi Aki
We're using NFS v3. Should we use v4 to avoid this problem?
Regarding concurrent access, when a user uses more than one device it
can go to any of the servers. It's the same config we had with
dovecot-2.2.10 that never gave us this problem.
So, if the issue is related to concurrent access, is it any
configuration we can apply to solve it? Or the only solution is director?
Thanks again

Hi All,
We recently moved from RHEL6 to RHEL7 and updated dovecot from dovecot-2.2.10-1_14.el6.x86_64 to dovecot-2.2.36-8.el7.x86_64. We use NFS for storing the mail, and 5 servers running at the same time.
Before updating dovecot we stopped the service and deleted all dovecot.index*
files
Now we're experiencing some problems. For example, when deleting an email it
is note deleted and appears again duplicated. These are the logs:
Feb 28 08:50:42 server5 dovecot: imap(user@domain): Error: Index path/Maildir/dovecot.index: Lost log for seq=5 offset=228: Missing middle file seq=5 (between 5..4294967295, we have seqs 4): Log is locked - newer log can't exist (initial_mapped=1, reason=Index mapped)

for path/Maildir/dovecot.index: Missing middle file seq=5 (between 5..5, we

Usually restarting the email client solves the problem for a while. We've tried deleting the indexes but it happens again some time later.
This is dovecot config:

Can you please help me?

Hi!
Are you ensuring that the same user is not concurrently being accessed by
multiple backends. All mail sessions for a user, including mail delivery.
Are you using NFSv3 or NFSv4?
