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

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
