        I'd like to humbly suggest that Evolution does a fall-back to
flock if fcntl doesn't work, and maybe to no-lock/dot-lock if there
are problems with that.  I'm assuming there's an advantage to the
fctnl locks, so they should be used where possible, but it seems that
having to recompile depending on the type of a user's mail directory
is a little inconvienient. Even having it as a per-user run-time config
would be better.

        I realise this is probably not a high-priority item, but maybe
could it be considered before 1.0 ?

        Thanks,
