FW: [cobalt-users] Need help w/Possible corrupted email account

["Mike Jones" <clists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Thomas, this is exactly the help I was looking for.
As it turns out, before I tried this, I rebooted the server to see if there
was any sort of stuck user on that account as un-technical as that may
sound.  Fortunately, after the reboot, the account was fully functional.

I hope this is of some use to anyone who sees the error message listed below
about /var/spool/mail/.mikej.pop lock busy! Is another session active?
(11)'.
