>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).

        drwxrwxrwx   2 vpopmail vchkpw       4096 Sep 24 11:26 tmp

No change. Still doesn't work.

It most certainly _should_ be. I've set that in
/usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/imapd thus:

        TCPDOPTS="-nodnslookup -noidentlookup -user=vpopmail
-group=vchkpw"

And "ps auxw" after telneting in produces:

        vpopmail 13487  0.0  0.3  1264   604  ?  S   19:35   0:00
/usr/.../couriertcpd...
