Description Ti Leggett 2001-09-06 00:38:40 UTC

Package: Evolution
Priority: Normal
Version: 0.13.99
Synopsis: Cannot check local mail
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer

Description:
I have three mail accounts I check, a POP3, an IMAP, and my local UNIX
mail box mail. The POP and IMAP servers I access through a ssh tunnel.
They work fine. However, everytime I try to check my local mail box I
get an Error that says:

Error while 'Fetching Mail':
Could not lock '/var/spool/mail/leggett'

Now I know there shouldn't be anything that has a lock on that. I'm not
running any other mailers at the same time. I can use pine to view my
local mail as well as balsa-1.2pre1. What could be wrong? Thanks!
