I keep getting the error message:

Mailbox is locked, will abort in 270 seconds.

what does this mean???

Just a guess: Antivirus software on servers may "lock" files while its
scanning them. This is to prevent changes while the scan is in progress.
Ideally, the mailbox would be unlocked after scanning.

Set up your account in Apple's Mail application and see if you continue
to receive the same message or a similar error. If you do then you will
need to contact your E-mail service provider and report the problem to them.

Hope this helps!
