Re: [webmin-l] Usermin: Failed to lock mail file /var/mail/inbox after trying for 5 minutes, due to a POP3 lock file

[<us...@tr...>]

Hi,

one can avoid the "Failed to lock mail file" error message by disabling 
"Check for POP3 lock files" in the Usermin Module Configuration for the 
"read mail" module.

But I wonder if you do not get any problems by disabling that POP3 lock 
file check?


Thanks and best regards
