Eric,

It means Imail cannot open a mailbox for appending...

> what causes it

...the mailbox exists on disk, but is locked by another process....

> how can I fix it

...isolate   what  else  might  be  touching  these  files...real-time
anti-virus   daemons   and   backup   software  are  the  most  likely
culprits...if  you're  sure  there's  nothing  of the sort, reboot and
cross your fingers that it was a one-time OS error...

> prevent it from happening again?

...make  sure  that  the mailbox directory is not real-time protected,
and open files SHARED READ WRITE during backup.
