Try using "ktrace" on the spawned qpopper daemon once you've made the initial connection via telnet and gotten the "+OK Qpopper (version 4.0.4)" banner.
e.g. "cd /tmp ; sudo ktrace -d -i -p <pid-of-running-qpopper>"
Once you've "quit" and the "qpopper" process has exited, run
"cd /tmp ; sudo kdump | less" (or "more")
and look at the output to see where "qpopper" went looking for your "visible messages" once you authenticated to it.
"ktrace"/"kdump" are Your Friends.

Hi, I've tried Greg's suggestion and I need help deciphering the output:

I'm not sure what this is telling me. What directory is qpopper looking for my email? I see /var/mail/s/h/.shane.cache which I don't think should contain email and /var/mail/s/h/.shane.pop which is the temp file which is created when one checks email. I don't see anywhere in this dump that qpopper is looking for my mail in /var/mail/shane. With shane being a file with the following permissions:
-rw------- 1 shane shane 980 Mar 6 17:10 shane
Any suggestions would be appreciated, Shane
