What group is your /var/mail directory assigned as? Make it assigned =
group "mail" or whatever is valid, chmod g+w it, and set tpop3d to run =
under that group. That's how I got past a similar error.

Now I tried enabling the other ways it tries locking the file I get =
the same message everytime.
Anyone else encountered this and/or knows how to correct it? All =
assistance is highly appreaciated.
