I have changed my Exim to deliver to /var/spoo/virtual/$(domain)/$(user)/Maildir
but now I am stuck. Deliveries occur normally, but authentication with tpop3d
fails.
In tpop3d.conf I have

mailbox: maildir:/var/spool/virtual/$(domain)/$(user)/Maildir/ maildir:$(home)/Maildir


When I tryto access a mailbox, I get this:

wash@ns2 ('tty') ~ 12 -> telnet 0 110
Trying 0.0.0.0...
Connected to 0.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <4c4c81cfee1f9b1a47b13254bd9bcc83@pop.wananchi.com>
user wash@airoquip.com
+OK Tell me your password.
pass wash
-ERR Unable to open mailbox; it may be locked by another concurrent session.
Connection closed by foreign host.


I have even changed the permissions on the Maildirs to be 775 but no luck.

Any help??
