 You could enable telemetry logging, which should help to rule out a 
 problem with the client.
 



How do I do that ?

# mkdir /var/lib/imap/log/$user
# chown cyrus /var/lib/imap/log/$user

One file will be created in that directory for every process used by  
that user.

A pop process blocks at write() for any mail at random. And they start
getting pop lock issues 

I have checked with the customer , there is no IDS on their network 
Is there any other way I can debug this issue

I have seen issues with pop3d's locking up some weeks agao while 
maintaining our University's Cyrus IMAPD installation.

It turned out to be caused by the used file system for /var/lib/imap. We 
used reiserfs there - the system itself is a openSUSE 11.1 and has been 
older SUSE-variants before.

After reformatting with xfs, which we have used for the mailbox 
partitions everything went smooth again.

I didi not follow this issue, as the system had to be running without 
flaws in the shortest possible time.

This should be no reiserfs-bashing. I use it frequently without 
problems, but here it broke something.

HTH,

Stefan
