Some thoughts,
- Does the user have a Maildir?
- Try removing the softlimit component while you debug this issue
- When logged in as the user, cd to their home directory and
try "/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir" manually
- Is the run script running as root?
Please keep the list updated on your progress.
cheers,
Andrew.
