That would be fine for courierpop3dsizelist. It's not so much use for the maildirsize file, which has to be shared between all the front-ends or else it doesn't work at all.

Rewriting maildirsize *does* have some race conditions, in the sense that the calculated quota size may not always be entirely accurate. It's a trade-off between efficiency/overhead and functionality.

Yeah I know this problem... that why when I have done my patch for postfix to support courier imap Maildir++ I *never* trusted maildirsize file and never used it on NFS. I prefer recomputing the inbox part in every mails than rely on something that can not be sure at 100%.

The overhead is so little that the mailwritting machine have load average < 0.01 in general...

So... :)

But I feel like Jérôme : I do not trust flat file on a NFS....
