The problem is that a lock is being held on the users INBOX by either
deliver (1.6.x) or lmtpd (2.x), and these deliver processes are waiting for
the lock to be released. You need to kill all the deliver processes for
this user and also kill all the lmtpd processes (2.x) to get mail flowing to
this users mailbox.
