NEOMAIL ERROR "Can't create your user directory!"

Hello,

I had the error with MD5 (. Re: "password incorrect" error - MD5 ) so I 
decided to keep perl 5.6 and reinstall neomail. It fixed the problem.
.
.


Now I get this new problem:

NEOMAIL ERROR  "Can't create your user directory!"

I noticed one similar error to this in the sourceforge neomail list; 
but, there wasn't a proposed fix to the problem. It may be a simple 
config problem with the mail server; however, I have used the same 
config file from the last time it worked.

------------------------------------------------------------
The mail directory is
/var/spool/mail/[username]

I use sendmail and have added Tapache as a trusted user.

---------------------------------------------------
This is a typical user in /var/spool/mail

-rw-rw----    1 spotterf spotterf      449 Nov  7 11:43 spotterf

Are my permissions correct?


____________________________________-
Here is a portion of  the neomail.conf file:


# hashedmailspools - Set this to 'yes' if your mail spool directory is 
set up
#                    like /var/spool/mail/u/s/username.  Most default
#                    sendmail installs aren't set up this way, you'll 
know
#                    if you need it.
$hashedmailspools = 'no';

# scripturl - The location (relative to ServerRoot) of the CGI script, 
used in some
#             error messages to provide a link back to the login page
$scripturl = '/cgi-bin/neomail.pl';

# prefsurl - This is the location (relative to ServerRoot) of the user 
setup
#            and address book script.
$prefsurl = '/cgi-bin/neomail-prefs.pl';

# homedirspools - Set this to 'yes' if you're using qmail, and set the 
next
#                 variable to the filename of the mail spool in their
#                 directories.  Appropriate defaults have been supplied.
$homedirspools = 'no';
$homedirspoolname = 'Mailbox';

# homedirfolders - Set this to 'yes' if you'd like to use ~user/mail/ 
for your
#                  folders, enabling compatibility with the PINE MUA.  
Note that
#                  when enabled, users will have to have a ~user/mail 
directory
#                  already, NeoMail doesn't create it.  Best to add a 
mail
#                  directory in /etc/skel (or equivalent) in that case.
$homedirfolders = 'yes';

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone have an idea as to what may be wrong with my set-up?

Thank you,

Sam
