movemail: mailbox (file) cannot lock: Conflict with previous locker
Table of Contents
I receive an error when something somewhere crashed, and couldn’t get my mail into emacs Gnus with the following error:
movemail: mailbox `/var/spool/mail/webdevtory’: cannot lock: Conflict with previous locker (1 return). Continue? (y or n)
Continuing was useless (didn’t show my new mail), restarting the whole machine didn’t work. So just go to the directory and delete the .lock file in there. Back to health.
