Well, there's certainly nothing wrong with RedHat 7.2. As far as the NFS
server, you haven't clearly stated which machine is serving NFS and
which is the client, so god knows.

The only time we've told people to upgrade their NFS servers is if/when
their NFS servers were not properly handling file locking. It doesn't
sound like this is the case for you?

If it were, I'd think that you'd be getting warning or error dialogs
about not being able to lock the mailbox files.

Anyways, without a lot more information, it's impossible to say what
your problem is. It could be a slow network for all we know.
