I have, but not with TheBat! in particular. It can often happen when
there is a connection interrupt between the server and the client.
The client is needed to re-authenticate and because the server
hasn't dropped the previous connection, the mail box is locked
(hence the message). I've often found this to occur when a proxy
server is involved (in particular Wingate) and large emails, because
the proxy server incorrectly handles the connections, the client
times-out, but the proxy keeps the connection open to the server, so
you end up with something like this:
Client -> Proxy -> Mail Server
[time out]
Client X Proxy -> Mail Server
[reconnect]
Client -> Proxy X Mail box still locked
