Yes you do if you are using vchkpw and all popusers Maildirs are
owned/groupped via vchkpw's UID. Therefore making Pine in accessable to
these files because of permisisons. I am sure you may could create the
owner of each mailbox to match each user and place the vchkpw group into a
group to read. But who has the time to re-write all of those scripts,
qmailadmin, and new scripts to create this upon new addusers?
I'd rather install IMAP and be done.
