   pretty much nothing, I am the only user, I have two mozilla instances 
(one on the same computer, another one remote) checking for new email 
every 10 minutes and 5 minutes, respectively. Mozilla checks about 20 
folders for new mails.

   I suspect that that might be a problem, I just noticed that it checks 
for new mail pretty much all the time, and in between the 'user erik 
opened...' messages I see the locks. So maybe it's mozilla being too 
enthusiastic about checking for new email messages, opening another 
folder before it gets response from the other or something like that.

Here's what looks like relevant part of the log (that's from syslog):

   this repeats all the time, messages about user erik opening folders 
(that must be mozilla checking for new email) and messages about 
erik.seen being locked.
