pop3 problem

[Michael Roark <static@bulloch.com>]

I have a debian box that serves mail for a large group of people (off 
site). I was using in.qpopper for the pop3 daemon until the trouble 
started. Now, when they try to check mail they get the following error:

Could not log in to the POP3 server.
The server responded:

maillock: '/var/spool/pop/<username>.pop'

Please enter a new password for POP3 user <user>@<domain.com>

I tried everything under the sun to get that fixed, but couldn't, so I 
downloaded the pop3d package. After compiling it, users can check mail, 
but the server responds that they don't have any, though they do. 
Evidently the pop client can connect to the port, but the daemon checks 
in the wrong place for the mail.

I don't know where to go to troubleshoot the problem further. Does anyone 
have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Michael
