Re: [Evolution] [Fwd: Evolution and NFS]

Howdy!

This sounds like you don't have permissions to lock that file. This
might happen if you're running it as you (not as root) and trying to use
fcntl or flock to lock a file you can't write, or trying to dot-lock a
file in a directory in which you can't write.

Doesn't sound like an Evo problem ...
