I have to open and close connection to the mail server several times
inside the same virtual machine, in order to retrieve messages.



Each time I get the default instance, I get the store,connect to it,
get and open the INBOX folder in READ_ONLY mode,retrieve messages,
close the folder, close the store.



Very often (not always, and never at my first connection) I get this message:
/usr/mail/.myUser.pop lock busy! Is another session active?



I even put a sleep time of 60 sec between subsequent connections
but I keep getting the error message.



What can I do? How long do I have to wait before the /usr/mail/.myUser.pop
file is deleted? Is there a timeout? Can I configure it and how?



Thank you!
