Re: [cobalt-users] Help User Email Problem

["Neil J. Kemp" <guyver@xxxxxxxxxx>]

They crashed out halfway through downloading an e-mail so the lock file is
still left behind. Although the mail server should be deleting that after
a  little while, but in the mean time delete the file:

/var/spool/mail/.dsteel.pop and it'll go away. It could also be they have
a HUGE email and it's timing out getting it if sou'll need to either
delete it or forward it from the server etc.
