Upon enabling rpc.{statd/lockd} on our SGI 3.3 NFS clients, we found that mail (actually /usr/bsd/Mail) would hang when we tried to exit after reading mail. Our mail directory is shared as yours is; the file server in our case is a Sun running 4.0.3. The SGI technical support person I talked to didn't seem to know about this problem; he tried to get me to check sendmail.cf and so forth, not too helpful. I couldn't tell what was causing this, and we didn't desperately need NFS file locking, so turned it off. Mail continued to hang even after the statd/lockd daemons were killed, but rebooting the client seemed to clear things up. So you're not alone but I have no help to offer.
