This is just a quick post about an error message that you might be getting especially it seems if you are using Tiscali in the UK: “mailbox locked by other server”. I was first made aware of it by a client who thought I had misconfigured her Entourage, as the message started to appear after one of my visits.
In fact it turns out that it means that you are logged into your email from another source, and some mail servers get tetchy about that. So it was my fault: I had set up her iPhone to collect her mail too, and this it seems is enough to trigger the message on some systems.
Huh.

ACH! This exact thing has just happened to me. Um, do you mind me asking, how did you resolve the issue? I am going bananas trying to find out… All help gratefully received. x
Is it this? or is it this…? http://macwiz.co.uk/gmx-free-email-problems/
Either way I am not much help other than to suggest contacting the provider’s tech support, or if there isn’t any, trying another provider that recognises you might be in two places – or using two devices – at once.
