Subject: Lock - read only

Sorry for my silly question:
I use pine under linux. When I start pine I get the prompt, that the
mails are locked and read only ( - I cannot delete them). How can I
get rid of this lock without beeing a superuser? 
(The mailbox is updated with popclient.)

Thank you

FWIW it isn't silly. We've had trouble with just a few users using POP
mail clients that manage to lock their inboxes every single time they use
it. That means we have to go into their inbox and unlock it, and this can
be a drag after the first few dozen times. My conclusion thus far is that
it's got to be a config problem (brilliant, huh?) but I haven't found out
where.
