Yea, that seems right, I noticed files in my wifes cur directory, which
confused me. I think they are left over from when her MUA was
configured to 'leave messages on the server'.

Sending mail works just fine. I agree that the problem is with the pop
server. I am using qmail-pop3d. Have been for several years. And bin
through several gentoo updates without a problem. This update replaced
all the run scripts in the supervise directory, and created a bunch of
new config files in the control directory, and left qmail-pop3d broken.
It appears (based on a troll of the logs) that it is looking for
/etc/tcp.pop3.cdb. Now I need to figure out how to build that file.
Also new with this update, were /etc/tcp.{smtp,qmtp,qmqp}{,.cdb}
It appears that what ever script built these has overlooked the build of
the tcp.pop3 and tcp.pop3.cdb. So I am off to figure this out (by
reading through the ebuild... I suspect the code the built these files,
is probably in the package config function.
I will post again when I figure this out.
But there is little doubt that the developer must not use qmail-pop3d,
or this would not have been released way more broken than any previous
update of qmail, since I have been using gentoo. (just about a year
now).
