Depending on the exact issue, it's probably telling you it can't create
lockfiles, and that *is* worth worrying about. If more than one
application writes to an mbox file at the same time, the mailbox could
become corrupted.

So, set the permissions, and then life should go back to normal. :)

      long-distance providers is apparently optional.
    - eFax: Receive (not send) 20 pages of *unsolicited* faxes, and lose
      your account.
