Looking at the code (popa3d-1.0.3 and popa3d-0.5.9-maildir-2.diff), I
see that the "Failed or refused to load" message with the mailbox path
can also appear when the actual load attempt was of a Maildir and not
mailbox. However, I also see that with that patch's default settings
it'd be trying to load the Maildir from under /var/mail.
I think you need to change two settings in params.h:
1. Undefine MAIL_SPOOL_PATH, such as by replacing this line:
#define MAIL_SPOOL_PATH "/var/mail"
with:
#undef MAIL_SPOOL_PATH
2. Change the mailbox file/directory name by editing this line:
#define HOME_MAILBOX_NAME "Mailbox"
to be:
#define HOME_MAILBOX_NAME "Maildir"
Does this help?
