Make sure some freak program hasn't changed all the ownerships on those
mailboxes (ie ls -l /home/mailhome/a or whatever and check the files are
owned by their respective owners). Also try a killall -HUP tcpserver or
inetd (depending on what you use), in case it is somehow managed to lock all
the files open.
Good luck
