I am using dovecot as an imap server. Procmail won't update indexes during email delivery, so I'm having some performance delays and lags when accessing the emails via imap.
Maildir doesn't have indexes. Are you sure that the delays you're seeing are from dovecot rebuilding them when someone accesses their IMAP account?
Then I don't know why the dovecot docs say using dovecot-lda is the preferred delivery method, so it will update the indexes. Everything I've read about dovecot indicates that they do indexing, and in fact, I have to force my mail client to a different mailbox, then back for it to see new emails, because of this issue as I understand it.
That dovecot uses indexes doesn't mean that maildir does.
I wonder what it does when email is delivered while the recipient is accessing it via IMAP when both the IMAP server and the MDA are updating the indexes.

Folder /usr/libexec/...?
It appears procmail is trying to deliver to the path of the deliver executable...
procmail: Unlocking "/home/campbell/.lockmail" procmail: Executing "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver,-m,/home/campbell/Maildir/" /bin/sh: /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver: Permission denied
That looks to me as if 'deliver' is not allowed to write to ~/Maildir. As which user is it running? Can it deliver when you run it as the same user who owns ~/Maildir?
Deliver fails when I run it standalone with the same issues, which made me think in might beSELinux. I'm going to try running SELinux in permissive mode to see if it works.
When you run it as who?
