The SQL query says to setuid to the mail user.  tpop3d config says to use=20
group perms of hosting.  So, when a successful connection/auth is made,=20
tpop3d would drop permissions to that of mail:hosting.  Your directory is=20
owned by forzda, so the user mail can't access it.  Running 'chown mail=20
/var/mail/virtual/forzda.com.au/admin' should make it work.
