!HELP! How to avoid the mail-lock (fetchpop / popclient)
Hello fellow debians, Last week, I moved over from slackware 3.0 to debian 1.1. What a relief, really, except for one thing: my connection with the world. Everything installed just fine, However, my mail really bothers me. Here, at my work I have to retrieve my mail from a novell server. I can do this by `fetchpop' or `popclient'. This is all right, but when I'm usingthe mailagent Pine as an ordinary user, I only can read the inbox file, but I cannot alter it: pine can't get the mailbox lock from the incoming folder. However, as root I do not have a problem. Last night, I managed to work my way around the problem with chmod-ding some directories and files. But at the xx-th startup, Everything was ruined again. For deleting my mail, I have to use W95 again (arghhh...) If someone can help me with this problem, I would be very, very pleased. thanks in advance, Marc [EMAIL PROTECTED]
