Hi,
We're running Qpopper 4.0.5 on a solaris machine. We have a webmail product
called Emumail that let's a user pick up their mail from our solaris machine.
We have had intermittent problems where the user's incoming mail suddenly
disappears.
Are you sure it's not in /var/mail/.gnelson.pop?
That's where qpopper creates a copy of the mailspool when interacting with the client. If something goes wrong, qpopper usually leaves the file there and continues to complain of a pop lock until you clear it.
It depends on how you are running qpopper too, of course, since some modes are not as 'safe' as others.

Not just one or two messages, but everything that was in
/var/mail/their_username. In the poplog I have, I noticed these messages
Apr 8 14:03:39 itsa qpopper[12807]: [ID 702911 local0.notice] gnelson at itsa.ucsf.edu (128.218.95.23): -ERR [IN-USE] /var/mail/.gnelson.pop lock busy! Is another session active? (11) Apr 8 14:04:03 itsa qpopper[13040]: [ID 702911 local0.notice] (v4.0.5) POP login by user "gnelson" at (itsa.ucsf.edu) 128.218.95.23 Apr 8 14:04:09 itsa qpopper[13370]: [ID 702911 local0.notice] spool older than cache file /var/mail/.gnelson.cache
These messages appeared around the time that gnelson lost the mail. Has anyone seen this sort of problem?
