I need some help &...quickly please ! I have a FBSD 2.0 mailserver & I have installed ELM on the system. The compilation went OK . But now when I type elm at the prompt I get the following messages :- Waiting to read mailbox while mail is being received: attempt #n After 7 attempts it says:- Giving up after 7 iteration. Please try to read your mail again in a few minutes. Timed out on locking mailbox. Leaving program. Can anyone tell me what I have to do to make ELM work ? If I make any changes to the configuration file will I have to recompile the whole thing again ? i.e. run --> 'make all ' ? Help is greatly appreciated. :-( Vrushal -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vrushal Dongre Email: vdongre@rolta.com " Nothing, is the worst thing that can happen to anybody " -Richard Bach -------------------------------------------------------------------------
