I'm trying to use popper (from the qpop package) with FreeBSD/2.0-941224SNAP.
Everything works fine, except it doesn't seem to want to delete mail
messages after I read them.  It also leaves behind the temporary
maildrop file (.user.pop or something).

I'm wondering if I have popper being run as the wrong user or perhaps
I have wrong permissions set on my /var/mail directory... ?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
chuck
