This is the answer I was given at one point... I wonder whether this is
a UNIX standard, or simply a mozilla thing. If the latter, couldn't the
locking files go somewhere like /var/lock/?
It doesn't affect me on a single-user machine, but on a big system using
mozilla this way any user could delete any other user's mail!
