DISCLAIMER: This is my first posting.

When I invoke rmail, emacs gives me an error in the minibuffer which reads:-
  movemail: unable to create lock file
The same message appears when I try to get new mail from rmail mode.
Do I need write access to /usr/spool/mail or is there a way to get
around this ?

Thanks in advance
