Try 'chmod 777 tmp'

A (very) cursory glance suggests that you are trying to create something in
tmp, but cannot.  You cannot create stuff in a directory unless you can
search it ('else how would you know if a file already existed?  And if you
didn't know, that would let you discover if a file existed).

Which leads immediately to the question of the user id of the process trying
to run the IMAP server code, and whether it is vpopmail...
