Hello Kai!

It is probably very specific. I checked source code for Crashmail (ok, version 1.6 here, file src/jamlib/jamlib.doc - but OK):

-------
                  if ( Result_I == JAM_LOCK_FAILED )
                      /* base locked by someone else, wait for unlock */
                      sleep( 1 );
-------
So Crashmail should wait until GoldEd unlock it...
