   i have 3.3 running on my 4D-25 personal iris and can't seem
   to get mailbox to work....i get the icon (and the nice flag going up)
   but my wsh scrolls continuously the following message:

    mailbox: Bad file number
    mailbox: Bad file number
    mailbox: Bad file number
    mailbox: Bad file number
    mailbox: Bad file number
    mailbox: Bad file number

   any ideas what's happening??

   i can use mail....to get to and from my sun network and the outside
    world, but cant seem to get the iris mail to work locally...
    i.e.  i can only read my mail on other systems ...

    p.s. i've only now tried to use mail on 3.3...
