ERR [IN-USE] Unable to lock maildrop

[Guest]

Hi

I got the following error. This is the first time that I have seen it. I
rebooted the system, and started getting 2 copies of the each mail for that
chunk. I don't see this prob now, but curious to know when this kind of error
comes up.

Following is the error message i used to get:

Task 'Work E-Mails - Receiving' reported error (0x8004210E) : 'Your
mailbox is temporarily unavailable because another e-mail message is being
delivered to it or another mail application is accessing it. The server
responded: -ERR [IN-USE] Unable to lock maildrop'

Thanks in Advance

This means that the server is reporting that mailbox is locked and can't
respond to requests from your mail client because another machine is
accessing the mailbox or the server software is in the process of delivering
a message to the mailbox. Only the people who support the server (e.g. ISP)
can clear this error if it continues.
