Description Adam Nevins 2001-11-05 05:25:22 UTC 
Package: Evolution
Priority: Normal
Version: 0.16
Synopsis: /var/spool/mail lockfile permission problem
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer

Description:
Attempting to fetch mail from local mailbox produces Error dialog
	Error while 'Fetching Mail'
	Could not lock /var/spool/mail/adam

This was after adding a "Local Delivery" server.  strace of process
named camel-lock-helper reveals this:

stat64("/var/spool/mail/adam", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0660, st_size=30581,
...}) = 0
open("/var/spool/mail/adamVyNlCF", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) = -1
EACCES (Permission denied)

---- end of bug report

This problem notwithstanding, I think I've found my new mail client! 
Great work!
