It expects to find mail in /usr/bin and we have it on /bin (or the other way around). You can just make a symbolic link to mail in the directrory where popclient expects to find mail, e.g. ln -s /bin/mail /usr/bin/mail. I would suggest that you re-make popclient from the port and fix config.h to match what FreeBSD wants. This is what I did and popclient works just fine. Gary J
