Hi patrick,
BlueQuartz has qpopper-4.0.5-1BQ4 which is configured with --enable-
server-mode, then qpopper doesn't copy for reading.
Did you find a .username.pop copy in /var/spool/mail?
If so, add -S option to /etc/xinetd.d/pop3 such as
server_args = in.qpopper -s -S
And, restart xinetd.
And then, you can access to pop3 without copy.
Regards,
Hisao
