Okay, my account is fine and I can send mail from other machines, so I
know the problem is specific to this machine.

When I first log in I see the console message: NetISAM: read failed.
When I launch the CDE mailtool it asks me if I want read only or
read/write access because it is unable to "obtain exclusive access to
this mailbox."

I passed this on to my sysadmin, but he's busy and stuff, so figured I
could save some time by getting some idea of the cause from you folks.

Thanks.

The CDE Mailer tries to lock your mailbox using ToolTalk. To avoid this
uncheck the "File|Mail Options|Advanced|Use network aware mail file
locking" option.
