I think he (and I) would rather have -ERR unable to chdir to your home directory or whatever the actual error is, rather than just dropping the connection, since that doesn't give any help in fixing the problem. This does in fact work if the 'homeDir' exists but the 'mailDir' doesn't. The issue is, I believe, that the chdir() to the homeDir takes place in authlib, and a suitable error message doesn't find its way back to the pop3 user.
