Re: Current qpopper compatible with qmail? (~/Mailbox)

It sounds like you are confusing here qpopper to belong to qmail - it
isn't. (The "Q" in qpopper standas for "Qualcomm").

As far as I can tell, the qmail package for Debian is missing a piece
of software called "checkpassword"
(ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/pub/software/checkpassword-0.76.tar.gz).
There are a few alternatives floating around.  Look at
http://www.qmail.org.

Could the person who built the Debian qmail package include
checkapssword? (or explain why this is not possible/necessary?)
Better yet - include some alternatives as described in www.qmai.org.

|What about cucipop?

Look around at the page I mentioned above, there are some patches for
popular POP servers, and it is claimed to be not difficult to tweak
anything to start using MailDirs.

Hope this helps,
