The original question was:

> when starting dtmail on my Solaris 2.5 box, it complains that it is unable
> to obtain exclusive access to my mailbox. ~/.dt/errrorlog contains:
>
> libDtMail: ttdt_file_join error: path '/var/mail/user' Tt_status (1028)
> TT_ERR_FILE File object could not be found.
>
> I suspect that the reason for this problem is that /var/mail is mounted
> through the automounter from a SunOS 4 server.

The answer is:
1. Make sure ToolTalk is running on your mailserver. If not install it
   with /usr/openwin/bin/install_tt.
2. Also the ToolTalk patch 100626-08 needs to be installed on the
   mailserver.

Thanks for the usefull answers from:
