Hm.  Maybe the other Emacs was still editing files without you knowing

Define `read mail'.  Are you saying it didn't fetch the mail from your
system mail drop (I forget whether it was POP or /var/mail/jrl)?  If
so, what is the value of mail-sources, and what is the value of
nnmail-spool-file?  Does it help to make sure that one of them is nil?
