Synopsis: Can't open local mailbox
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer

Description:
When trying to open a local mailbox (/var/mail/userX), I get an error message : 

  Error while performing operation:
  Could not lock '/var/mail/userX'

Mailbox can't be open.
"lsof" says that the only process using mailbox file is "camel-lock-helper".

Is the local mailbox actually local or is it NFS mounted?
