Normally the pop server creates temporary copies of the mailboxes in
the spool directory. I think they're called .pop.joe for user "joe".
It seems that instead of creating /var/mail/.pop.joe, your pop daemon
is attempting to create /var !
Something must be really bad in its configuration. Don't tell me it
works from other pop clients, does it ?
Did you build it from sources ?
