The problem persists with mbox inbox folders in v1.1.alpha4.
I get a stalled process "imap" which can not be killed by
killall imap
only by
killall -9 imap
This process takes a lock of user mailbox thus prevents the user to
read/send mail.
Other users are OK

It can not be restarted as
/etc/init.d/dovecot restart
killall imap
also does not help
killall -9 imap
and then restart does help
