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...
