Question.. What are the reasons Imail would lock it as such? I haven't
been able to find a explanation of a file type beginning with a "_":

End in .SMD - SMTP file 
End in .TMP - Web Messaging or Beeper or Pager
End in .NTF - delivery notification responses
End in .GSC - files created by imail1.exe
End in .GSE - error messages from postmaster
End in .VAC - vacation messages 
Start with F - Fax file. 
Start with D - Data file, should have a matching Q file 
Start with Q - Tells SMTP what to do with the data file 
Start with ~ - processing file. If the next three characters are NEX,
then it is being processed by Web Messaging or by imail1.exe.

Also while the files starting with "D" specify email bodies, and should
have corresponding, or matching files prefixed by "Q", I'm finding that
files such as "Dfff678d20132a174.SMD" that are in the old que directory,
there is no correspoinding "Qfff678d20132a174.SMD" file. Would moving
"Dfff678d20132a174.SMD" into the current spool directory accomplish
anything, or just mess up the queue?

Thanks.
