You modified the folder in one Mutt, and the other Mutt noticed this,
and told you about it. Why is that a problem?
Locking only occurs when the folder is first opened, and when it is
being written. Mutt does not leave the folder locked for the entire
time that you were reading mail; that would prevent new mail from being
delivered.
