sounds like the account mailbox is locked by another process. I've seen this with ipop3d left hanging for several minutes, or in fact the user *is* reading their mail at another location, either on purpose, running another client, or by proxy (un-authorized user, compromised account). Darn. Find the offending process, stop it, and the box should be open for use.
