Thank you, that was a good hint.

But please consult README.Debian before. Or (in my opinion the better solution) swicth to dovecot.
I installed dovecot but it didn't really work. Actually only with one specific account, the one which produces this big mbox file. And I couldn't figure out the reason.
So I recompiled popa3d and it seems to work now. Thanks a lot. Flo
