akpop3d current
thunderbird client, back a patch from current
this box has two users: root and astar. astar is just a normal user.
now akpop3d is a deamon and otherwise takes the defaults, so the maildrops are
in /var/mail.
suppose I try to get some astar messages from the maildrop and stroke
thunderbird getmail. Seems to work. But stroke getmail again and a message
that the password was not whatever because could not get a lock on the maildrop.
Looking at the directory, the first stroke we got a astar-lock file and it
never
disappeared, so maybe there is a problem here. This file is astar/_akpop3d and
group has only r permissions.
Now I will be trying some other pop3 server , but here is the counter-argument.
I have had other permission problems recently, so it may not exactly be this
pop3 server
oh, root mailbox seems to work fine. thunderbird is running under the astar
user.
