We should change the default behaviour of the /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap binary if the MBOX_LOCKS environment variable isn't set, because it doesn't read dovecot.conf for itself. In order to make it work again for people who use it from SSH with Evolution/pine/mutt, I had to make a wrapper script which sets MBOX_LOCKS=fcntl and then runs the real binary. -- dwmw2
