It wouldn't be wrong to ask what your configuration is.

The thing that's locked seems to be your ~/.MESSAGES/mail/.MS_MsgDir
file, generally done by doing an flock(2) on that file.  I'd argue that
some other agent has that file locked--usually another process on that
same machine, left over from something else that you did.

Does that jog memories at all?
