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

[Andrew Green <andrew green securetrendz com>]

I posted a similar problem to this back on Dec.11.  I got *no* responses:

Way back in 0.99, (my first attempt to use Evo), I encountered this  problem. 
Seems that now I've solved my Configuration Database problem,  this one is
still here. 

Slackware 8, Evolution 1.0 

Error while 'Fetching Mail': 
Could not lock '/var/spool/mail/nobody' 

Since I'm trying to use Evo to manage all the mailboxes on my PC, this  presents
a real problem.  Via 'configure', I've tried dot-locking, fcntl  and flock. 
All give the same problem.  Also since I'm running as root,  I'm not sure
why I would have trouble locking the files... 

Anybody have any tips?
