imapd - "lost mailbox lock" [Mail Servers] -  admin -
[EMAIL PROTECTED] @ 17:34:27

In using Outlook as an email client, a mysterious error may occur
occasionally if IMAP has been configured as the email access protocol. The
client will display:

Your IMAP server has closed the connection. This may occur if you have
left the connection idle for too long.

The syslog (in this case /var/log/maillog), will show an entry like so:



Feb 18 16:46:42 mogwai imapd[26816]: Killed (lost mailbox lock) user=zeek
host=dhcp-54.sparklehouse.com [192.168.1.54]


Although this routine doesn't cause dysfunctionality --mail will still be
received on the server, it is annoying and will require the user of the
client to acknowledge the dialogue with "ok" or "details" each time it
appears. Multiple dialogues will appear if unacknowledged.

Detailed explanations can be googled but most of these point to
Microsoft's "attempt" at the IMAP protocol. After looking into this
situation a few times, trials which included network sniffing, checking
all options within the IMAP client, and looking through the registry, I
realized there *must be* another IMAP client polling the server.

Sure enough, I remembered I had configured the Opera M2 mail client just
recently and it was most likely the culprit. In deleting the account
created in this client, the Outlook annoyance disappeared.
