    I am still getting the following error message on my console window
once a day or two:

-ERR unable to lock maildrop: "/usr/spool/pop/bgardner"

   The extraneous info is: I'm using 6.3B on a vaxstation II,
with AFS, and I have done both a kinit and an aklog within an hour
or two before the error message occurred.
   I, of course, don't know if I'm loosing any mail in the process
(because I won't know how to find out, if its possible).
   I've reported this bug about a month or so ago...persistant
little bugger, huh?!?  (I meant the bug...not me.  :-)
   Just thought I'd mention it again.
