2nd Posting of this message, as I either never got a response before, or
managed to loose it!

Hi All

I've had this problem before but forgot how I cured it.

We have several workstations (windows) accessing a linux box via POP3 to
read mail using several different mail accounts.

One account keeps giving a mailbox already being read error, this has
suddenly started happening for no apparent reason.

Any Ideas?

TIA

Personally, I've only seen the symptoms you described on SCO systems,
where it seems to be an infrequent, transient but often commented on
problem.

Anyway someone did respond with the solution, it was an uncleared lock file,
which I suspected it would be because I have come across the problem before.
I just couldn't find the file in question, I now have the path tatooed on my
forehead ;-)

Now that you have the answer to your problem, you really should explain
what software you're using, what was causing the problem and how you fixed
it. This way others can search for and find your explanation using Dejanews.

If you're feeling really adventurous, you could even stick the text onto
a webpage and help even more people :).

I was not really behaving in the spirit of the group by not shareing my
information.

The details and solution will be posted at
http://www.hillweb.demon.co.uk/pop3/
It won't be a pretty page but it will contain the necessary information.
