Unable to receive mail.

After upgrading from Balsa 1.1.1 to 1.1.7 and again to 1.2.pre-1, I am 
unable to
receive mail.  (I could with v 1.1.1).

I'm getting the message:
  " Couldn't lock /var/spool/mail/<name>
    POP3 mailbox <name> accessing error: Could not open mailbox for 
spooling"

Here is /var/spool/mail:
drwxrwxr-x     2 root         mail         4096  Aug 13 04:10 .
drwxr-xr-x    14 root         root          4096 Aug 10 08:14 ..
-rw-rw-r--    1 <name>   root        66433 Aug 13 13:59 <name>
-rw-------   1 root          root          2051 Aug 13 04:10 root

Any idea what I've done wrong?
