I do this all the time. A client that locks up means either the client is buggy, or the client needs to wait excessively long for response from the server. If there is a locking issue, the database server should report something. Or look for warnings in the logs about long running queries. > > Do you see any solution to have two client checking the same mailbox ax > the same time? Dbmail-2.2 is not very good at maintaining a consistent state: when one client starts deleting/purging messages in a mailbox, other clients connected to the same mailbox may suffer from 'invalid uid' problems. This has been solved in 2.3 - but that code is not yet ready for public consumption, I'm afraid. First make sure you pinpoint the exact problem. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl _______________________________________________ DBmail mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
