Can you help me to fix the problem???
You have two problems:
Problem #1:
After logging in, the current directory is set to $HOME/Maildir by default.
That, being a standard maildir, should have three subdirectory: new, cur,
and tmp. However, an attempt to create a temporary file in the tmp
subdirectory has failed, with the error given above. Either you did not
correctly create the maildir subdirectory, or you did not properly configure
authentication.
Problem #2:
Stop sending HTML-bloated, barely readable, mail.
