Kenny, >From the comment regarding timeouts and lockfiles, I'd guess that you're delivering mail to mbox files. Have you considered switching to Maildir delivery? Tpop can do this natively and will likely perform much better than it is now. Timeouts may still occur on large messages, but the locking issues will go away immediately. FWIW, I've been very happy with Courier-IMAP, which includes a POP3 server. Authentication from MySQL is trivial to set up (there's a config that you can define your own query to return the necessary authentication information).
