Just to mention the follow-up: I used kmail and its convert
program on the old dbx files, and it worked fine. But the results
were in maildir format (each message in a separate file), not in
mbox format (a whole lot of messages in one file, which apparently

Do you have another machine that is accessing that mailbox through POP
mail? I've seen similar error messages in that situation (and for good
reason, POP grabs the mailbox contents and Pine can't figure out what
happened.)

The proper way is with the .lock file. Policy manual 4.3

You should file bug reports against any programs that use a different
