a) does this happen even with : locking?

I <3 Maildir....

That's fine for your mailfolders not to get corrupted, but the
logfile is not protected this way.

It's protected in other ways.
Writes to it are "atomic" on a line-by-line basis.
So I write everything out as a single "line".

But d'oh, that was meant as suggestion to get rid of logfile
corruption for the LOGABSTRACT=yes case, where you complained it
would get messed up when under heavy load.

I want it to have EVERYTHING.
And it does.
It's great for forensics.

Aha ... why not simply keep a copy of all your mail archived in a
separate folder rather then a logfile with
:0c:
$ARCHIVE

# ???

There can't be more "EVERYTHING" than that.
