Before you try my other solution is their a file called admin.lock in the
/var/spool/mail directory?

Dont try doing a locate for it as you wont find it. you have to physically
look, and make sure you  use the command ls-al as an ordinary ls may not
show it.

If so remove the .lock file using rm -v admin.lock

If this doesnt work or the file is not there, try my other method.
