Solaris Common Messages and Troubleshooting Guide

This mail file has been changed by another mail reader.

Cause

This message appears in a pop-up dialog box whenever you start mailtool(1) while another mail reader has the inbox locked. A question follows: Do you wish to ask that mail reader to save the changes? You are given three choices.

Action

If you choose Save Changes, mailtool(1) requests the other mail reader to relinquish its lock and write out any changes it has made to your inbox. If you choose Ignore, mailtool(1) reads your inbox without locking it. If you choose Cancel, mailtool(1) exits.
