Description mfaine 2001-08-19 15:02:35 UTC 
Package: Evolution
Priority: Blocker
Version: 0.12.99
Synopsis: cannot lock /var/spool/mail/mark
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer

Description:
I get an error dialog box :

Error while "Fetching Mai":
Could not lock '/var/spool/mail/mark'

I'm trying to use fetchmail to retrieve my mail from a pop3 server every few minutes.  I use sendmail to send. This setup does not seem to work with Evolution.

Thanks,
-Mark Faine

mfaine: are the permissions on your copy of camel-lock-helper correct,
or is it not setuid as suggested in the solution to bug 206335?

Keep in mind that is setgid (set the group that is used when the
program is run).
