### NFS Recommendation

To prevent concurrent writes to the Xapian database files, Dovecot relies on file locking.

If using NFS, the [`VOLATILEDIR`](https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/nfs/#optimizations) parameter for the [`mail_location`](https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_location/) configuration option should be used to perform this locking locally as opposed to on the remote server.

## Plugin Settings

**The default parameters should be fine for most people.**
