That's a little vague.
Is root the only user that can accept mail? Is root the only user that can
access the pop server? Do the logs show you anything helpful? Are you
using mbox or maildir and do the correct spoolfiles/permissions exist?

does that help?
is it something with postfix not having rights to write to my home dir?
thanx

I ran across some docs a few months ago that stated in a roundabout way that Postfix will not create a maildir if the recipient does not have permission to create the dir. I can't find a reference to it now, but it would fit the described problem nicely. I would check the following
1. does /home/chrisv exist?
2. is the owner chrisv and the group users?
to fix:
mkdir /home/chrisv
chown -R chrisv:users /home/chrisv
You may want to install the superadduser package which will create users, home dirs, copy rc files, etc with the correct permissions from the start. useradd is pretty unfancy.

thanx!
I had to run | Code: | | chown -R chrisv:users /home/chrisv |
and it worked.
I did use superadduser too add all my users.. dont know why this was screwed up.
i'll check the other users.
now i hope this is the last problem i have! 
thanx again!!
