Please try by checking for the presence of a .root file in the
/usr/spool/mail directory (if I remember correctly) and for a
file (under /tmp - sorry I cannot remember the name) which
deals directly with the popper daemon (if this is your case).
Hope this helps !
Best,
Roberto

1. More mail file locking questions (lockf, NFS, /var/spool/mail/*.lock)
Here's a problem I've run into:
The problem I've seen relates to building mh-6.8 for SVR4
(and correspondingly LOCKF). Now, it appears that while
INC believes the mail file (NFS mounted) should be
locked, it isn't (or it is lockf'ed and someone else
[/bin/mail?] isn't honoring the lock; it says something
like "New mail has arrived.."). It appears that /bin/mail
(on 4.1.x and Solaris 2.x) uses lock files
(/var/spool/mail/*.lock).
My question is, should mh ({l}emacs, popper,imap,...)
use this style (and abandon lockf), or is there some
other appropriate solution to this problem?
Thanks,
Dave
