Well, I am hoping someone here can give me an easy answer. My mailbox is locked by another process according to Pine. Now Fetchpop can still add mail to the box, but I can't delete any mail, and markers for the new mail all reset if I close and go back in. I don't want to restart right now because I have a large FTP going on. I have exited the system and that didn't help. I closed fetchpop and that didn't either. I can't find any process that should be affecting the mailbox. Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net ------------------ Your fly might be open (but don't check it just now).
