Re: [cobalt-users] Help User Email Problem

[Allan Liska <priz@xxxxxxxx>]

Ben,

It means that the user proabably got cut off in the middle of downloading
mail, and the mailbox is currently locked.  It should clear itself up,
relatively quickly.  If not, you may have to grep for and kill the user
sessions (ie: ps aux | grep username   then kill (or kill -9) the
offending PID number).

Hope that helps

Does the same as the system call of that name. If you don't know what it
does, don't worry about it.
