Lockfile for Dovecot doesn't get removed with muliple users accessing the same mailbox

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • There is a mailbox where multiple users have access to and log in at various times, when there is an overlap in the logins, a lockfile gets created and doesn't get deleted, leading to users not being able to view the messages in that Inbox.
  • Is there a way to make sure this lockfile gets deleted or to change when it is created?

Environment
