That's the way mbox format works. One IMAP or POP3 client can lock the mailbox for a long time. LDA can either wait longer of fail and let MTA retry the delivery later. The default is:
mbox_lock_timeout = 5 mins
So apparently the LDA already waited for 5 minutes for the lock.
(There is also actually mail_max_lock_timeout setting, but the default is 0 = disabled.)
Should I do something to correct ?
I don't really know if there is anything except switching away from mbox.
Hmmm the INBOX file seems locked by "something" ( mutt says FLOCK )
