Hi again,

Some more problems/issues with CDE.

I am having some problems with dtmail accessing my /var/mail which

is NFS mounted from my mail-server. I can't seem to update the

inbox reliably and dtmail tends to crash when trying to do so....

I guess this is because we don't have any working NFS file-locking.

Does anybody have any suggestions as to how one could get this

working?

I saw some mention of tooltalk helping me out here... is that true?

(CDE is not installed on the mail-server).

Thanks, Mark
