On Slackware distribution you can "rm /var/tmp/.pop/account_name" and
you are O.K.
This temporary file is created when:
- normally: the mail is really read by somebody and is used as a measure
of prevention for messing around with the mail box file. The pop3 server
use it.
- abnormaly: when a pop3 mail download was abruptly(sp?) terminated OR
you use Slackware with his default procmail that is wrong
compiled,sometimes this file remains and stop the mail account to be
used, with pop3 server sources there is a contrib shell script to be run
from cron, the script deletes stale temp files.
Also recompiling procmail with another temp dir helps.
