An emerge for popa3d 0.6.4 does not download the popa3d-0.5.9-maildir-2.diff patch. After downloading the patch manualy the rest of the build works perfectly.

Ok, fixed, thanks for reporting this. Here's an excerpt of the changelog detailing what the problem was: 18 Feb 2004; Hallgrimur H. Gunnarsson <hhg@gentoo.org> popa3d-0.6.4.ebuild: Maildir support was chosen as the default when neither the mbox nor the maildir USE flags were set. This caused the build to fail, since maildir support requires a patch which is only downloaded when the maildir USE flag is set. Now, mailbox support is chosen as the default. This was reported in bug #41710 by Skyler McCurdy <stupidlimits@yahoo.com>.
