hi,

Afraid that isnt the problem. Other users also have the same problem.
I think i had screwed up the mail's group permission? or what?

[kevinx@vmuniz kevinx]$ ./pop                                                  
querying singnet.com.sg     
popclient: openuserfolder: open(): Permission denied        
[kevinx@vmuniz kevinx]$   
 
That is what i got when trying to use popclient to get mail from my isp.

So I su to root and run popclient and changed the mail file 
"kevinx" group permission.

-rw------- 1 root mail 4716 May 10 05:47 kevinx   
[root@vmuniz mail]# chown kevinx.kevinx kevinx      

but got this

[kevinx@vmuniz kevinx]$ mail
/tmp/Rx000312: Permission denied
