I've installed qpopper.  I have two users on my system.  I'm trying to 
read their mailboxes from my NT box using the Pegasus mail client.  I can 
read the mail for one user, but not for the other.  The message displayed 
on the console is "-ERR Password supplied for "root" is incorrrect".

I hope it's wanting the same password as used to logon using root at the 
console.  Because that's what I'm supplying.

I notice that in /var/mail, I have the following entries:

.abcdef.pop	abcdef	root

I don't get the error for the abcdef user (not the actual name).  Should 
there be a .root.pop entry in this directory?  If so, how should it be 
created?
