Busmail Problems? Account Locked

Post by emark » Wed Jun 06, 2007 11:24 pm

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask, but is anyone having troubles with their busmail email account?

My email client (Eudora) fails when I try to download email, with the message "ERR Can't get lock. Mailbox in use".

I tried telnetting in manually via pop (port 110), and I get:
+OK POP3 busmail.org v2003.83 server ready
user emarkienna
+OK User name accepted, password please
pass [mypassword]
-ERR Can't get lock. Mailbox in use


Connection to host lost.
However, it works if I use the webmail interface, and also if I try to access it through http://mail2web.com .

Any ideas? Thankyous.

I also tried at work and have the same problem, so it doesn't seem to be specific to my machine or IP address...

I only access busmail through the web interface, so I'm not sure about downloading. Have you tried emailing Deb or Mark? llama@drizzle.com or mark@npsl.co.uk (from the main busmail page). They're the most likely to be able to help you.
