[Dovecot] Permissions issue in OpenBSD

[J Moore]

I jumped right in and followed the "Quick Configuration" guide after 
installing dovecot (dovecot-1.0.beta3.tgz) on my OpenBSD 3.9 box. I had 
previously been using akpop3d (which worked, but was flaky). I am 
getting the following errors in /var/log/maillog:

Jul 23 22:40:29 kingcull dovecot: pop3(jm): 
open(/var/mail/.temp.myserver.mymail.com.19038.10090e2f3cc51a4b) failed:

method=PLAIN, rip=67.33.58.194, lip=67.33.58.195, TLS

Could someone offer a clue as to what is needed to fix this?

Thanx,
Jay
