How can I edit the mailbox manually
I use gmail to POP my account because of the spamfilter. From time to time I receive an error message
"Connection timed out: There may be a problem with the settings you added. Ple..." after this I am no longer able to retrieve my mails because of the blocked session: "[IN-USE] /var/spool/mail/.xxx.xxx.pop lock busy! Is another session ac..."
I delete the account on gmail and wait a while (few hours) after which I reconfigure the client account. Sometimes it works for 200 mails than the same story again but most of the time I recieve the first message "Connection timed out: There may be a problem with the settings you added. Ple...".
I am the only user, it's a dedicated server. How can I edit the mailbox manually (for example through vi) so that I can look for corrupted lines, problems etc and how can I identify and kill the active session. I am familiarized with telnet, shell and some unix/linux commands and I have read some chapters about sendmail etc
Thank you for your help in advance

edit-patch
EDIT-PATCH(1) General Commands Manual EDIT-PATCH(1) NAME
edit-patch, add-patch - tool for preparing patches for Debian source packages SYNOPSIS
edit-patch path/to/patch add-patch path/to/patch DESCRIPTION
edit-patch is a wrapper script around the Quilt, CDBS, and dpatch patch systems. It simplifies the process of preparing and editing patches to Debian source packages and allows the user to not have to be concerned with which patch system is in use. Run from inside the root directory of the source package, edit-patch can be used to edit existing patches located in debian/patches. It can also be used to incorporate new patches. If pointed at a patch not already present, it will copy the patch to debian/patches in the correct format for the patch system in use. Next, the patch is applied and a subshell is opened in order to edit the patch. Typing exit or pressing Ctrl-d will close the subshell and launch an editor to record the debian/changelog entry. edit-patch is integrated with the Bazaar and Git version control systems. The patch will be automatically added to the tree, and the debian/changelog entry will be used as the commit message. If no patch system is present, the patch is applied inline, and a copy is stored in debian/patches-applied. add-patch is the non-interactive version of edit-patch. The patch will be incorporated but no editor or subshell will be spawned. AUTHORS
