Re: [Dovecot] Mailbox is locked?
On Thursday, April 23 at 01:18 AM, quoth Timo Sirainen: Do you actually notice something being broken/hanging or is it just that it gives those messages? Nope - Dovecot's behavior is otherwise exemplary. Do the xx seconds ever reach below 119? I haven't been keeping track, but I generally only see them once at a time, with relatively high timeout values. I added those notifications only recently and I guess it's possible that sometimes it gives them way too early (and actually I remember seeing one myself once). Hmm. Yeah, looks like the code doesn't really even try to prevent that. I'll add some check to make it hide them until at least 15 seconds has passed.

[Dovecot] Mailbox is locked?
Hello, I recently upgraded from Dovecot 1.1.8 to 1.1.14, and I've started to get errors I never got before. Specifically, I'm getting "Mailbox is locked, will abort in xx seconds" errors. My mail client (mutt) will just sit there in the background (presumably in IDLE) and randomly will show this error (I THINK it has something to do with delivering new messages to the folder; I use the dovecot LDA). Nothing else about my configuration has changed, just the version of dovecot. Does anyone know what could be causing these? I assume it has something to do with the index files, but... Nothing interesting shows up in the log files. How do I get rid of these error messages? Or even begin tracking them down? For what it's worth, mail is stored on the server in Maildirs, and the lock_method is fcntl, the mbox_write_locks is fcntl (I don't set mbox_read_locks). ~Kyle -- For to accuse, requires less eloquence, such is man's nature, than to excuse; and condemnation, than absolution more resembles justice. -- Hobbes, Leviathan pgpzcdBUg3kUG.pgp Description: PGP signature
