Hi all,

every once in a while, I get a mail account that I have to delete and reinstall ... here is the indicator:

2006-10-30 05:49:52 1GeSHv-000A5B-Do == AAA@??? R=virtual_localuser T=virtual_localdelivery defer (-9): failed to lock mailbox /var/spool/virtual/BBBB.com/AAAA (fcntl/flock)

Oddl;y enough, when this happens, there is no .lock file to be found.

Again, all that seems to work is to delete the account and reinstall it.

Any ideas?
