[gnu.emacs.bug] more RMail trouble

rbr4@UHURA.CC.ROCHESTER.EDU (Roland Roberts) (10/12/88)

The `g' option is also misbehaving.  Again, we're running GNU Emacs 18.50.5
on a Sun OS Release 3.5 with BSD 4.2.  The `g' command retrieves the
contents of mbox , but they are not available until the RMAIL buffer is
saved, killed and rmail is reinvoked.  There is a possibly related problem:
when rmail is started or when the g command is executed, I receive an error
when trying to read my inbox "movemail: error creating lock file."  I'm not
really familiar with the locking procedure (only what info tells me), so
I'm not sure where to look to fix this.  Thanks for any suggestions.
