Subject: Mail Box locked

I keep getting this message when  I try to access my pine 

"Can't open mailbox lock - access is read only"

I cannot delete my email as " folder is read only"
I have verified there is no other session of pine running and others on
the lan seem to have the same problem.

Would appreciate any help on the above matter.

Thank You
Ravi Daswani

Issue a command like this:

      killall pine

or if that doesn't help, say:

      ps ax *argl* My fscking Xmodmap is broken with this bleeding
      Mickysoft keyboard... ps ax "pipe" grep pine "pipe" less
