Yes, there is currently concurrent usage because the Mail spool is NFS
Mounted.
Here is the current configuration:

}
protocol lda {

}
protocol imap {

}
For the time being, I have isolated usage of POP3 connections on a single
Servers, however IMAP is especially problematic.

This is significantly more information than what I can receive from 2.1.15,
but still does not resolve the communications issues.
Any help is certainly appreciated.

Hi!
Seems something is locking the index. Do you have concurrent usage between
two or more nodes for same user?
