This means popmaildir have connected, authenticated and tried to fetch the first message to temporary location tmp/946685349380000.1114.(none) (here '(none)' stands for your hostname, which is not good:). Since you have no 'tmp' subdir in your /var/spool/mail, temporary file cannot be created, and popmaildir honestly fails, thus killing the helper to not leave zombies. All that happens because you didn't provide right Maildir structure, which _is_ the assumption of pop*maildir* :) Maildir should contain tmp,cur,new subdirectories. Create them under your /var/spool/mail and try again. > Some info about my environment might be useful to help me better. > So, I am using a board which has ARC architecture based processor (this > arch does not comply with any of the well known i386/ARM/MIPS etc). > > This board we bring up with Linux Kernel 2.6.19 & run busybox for all > the general linux utilities.
