My local mail gets put in /var/spool/mail/username. However I would like to 
read it in Kmail and so I have set up an incoming account which reads from 
/var/spool/mail/username, this is ok except that when I try to get mail I 
receive a message "could not lock /var/spool/mail/username". 

If I change the permissioms on /var/spool/mail/ to let others write entries 
everything works fine for a while until something (?msec) changes the 
permissions back to what they were.

Can anyone tell me an elegant solution to this problem please?
