hi,
running OSX 10.3.9, on a G3, safari 1.3.2 (v 312.6) & earthlink.
about 2 weeks ago got the following message while trying to access the mail client from my dock.
The mailbox ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/INBOX.mbox is currently locked by null on host dialup-(my IP address).dial1.(mycity).level3.net. If you open a mailbox that already is in use, you may damage its contents.
the dialog box won't let me choose any of the following options "open read only", "quit" or "open anyway". i have to force quit mail but when i try to access it again, it fails.
rebooting has no effect. webmail works fine and i'm not having any other issues other than a couple of spam mails have made it into my webmail in the last 2 days even though spam filter is set on high. and in 3 years with the mac and earthlink i have NEVER had a spam make it thru the filter.
what would lock my client on the dock. i have changed no preferences. could it be a security update issue? is it a mac, safari or earthlink issue?
any clues? and thanks in advance
