/var/spool/pop/<user>.pop is one thing (it's called temporary maildrop
by qpopper) - it's where qpopper moves mail for the time of POP3
session.
/var/mail/<user>.lock is another thing. I think it's usually just a few
bytes large (probably contains the pid of the locking process), and it's
the actual lock file (needed to prevent mbox corruption).
