If more then 1 peson is trying to check the same email at same time, it creates a lock file. Only one person can access email for an account at the same time.

If you want to avoid that issue, then you could migrate to the new maildir using courier-imap/pop3d. Because it is using maildir it only has to lock per email access instead of the whole mailbox.
