I occassionaly get this message when I want to leave my buffer via
'q'. I only read from $MAIL and no other process writes to
~/Mail/mbox. I usually answer 'revert buffer'.
Anyone seen this before?
Cheers,
cjr

Maybe your home directory is mounted via NFS and the client / server
clocks are not synchronized?

Hrm. Close. My home directory *is* mounted via NFS, but the ~/Mail/
directory (on NFS) is a symlink back to /users/chrisr/Mail which is
local. The latter path is not exported--in other words, I can access
~/Mail/ only when I am on my Linux box.
I mainly did this thinking I would see an improvement in speed on
large nnfolders because the files are stored locally.
Cheers,
