pop3 not recieving messages

[Sazpaimon]

So my /var/spool/virtual/domain/username has messages in it, yet when i log into my account via Thunderbird using username@domain, it logs me in, yet reports that I have no new messages. What gives/What should I check out?

Probably a permissions issue.

chown -R username:mail /var/spool/virtual/domain

chown -R username:mail /var/spool/virtual/domain

Nope, it has the right permissions.

I just tested using IMAP in Squirrelmail, and I see all my messages there, so I know it's a POP3-specific issue.

Any other suggestions?

What's the output of:

ls -ld /var/spool/virtual
ls -ld /var/spool/virtual/domain
ls -l /var/spool/virtual/domain

server:~# ls -ld /var/spool/virtual
drwxrwxrwt 3 mail mail 4096 2007-05-26 07:15 /var/spool/virtual
server:~# ls -ld /var/spool/virtual/domain.tld
drwx------ 2 admin mail 4096 2007-05-28 15:59 /var/spool/virtual/domain.tld
server:~# ls -l /var/spool/virtual/domain.tld
total 744

So it is a permissions issue after all.

chmod 770 /var/spool/virtual/domain.tld

Wow, now I feel dumb for overlooking something so blindingly simple. Thanks.
