Mail: Cannot create lock file
Hi all,
In my new debian potato installation, I created a
seperate partetion for mail and mounted it in
/var/spool/mail. Mails are getting properly delivered.
If I am using 'mail' command to read mails, I am
getting the following error :
mail: Cannot create lock file
/var/spool/mail/xxxx.lock. Error creating temporary
lock file
But with mutt I am not getting any error. I installed
Qpopper, but it also give error
ERR: maillock: cannot lock '/var/spool/mail/xxxx' :1
I suspect this is some permission problem, but dont
know what exactly is. How can I correct this ?
Tnx in advance,
Rds,
Deb
