POP3 users can't fetch their mail, the password is confirmed but doesn't seem to work. The mail log shows email traffic coming in and POP3 connections as working OK.

Solution:
Verify that the devileries are actually completed OK. If not, check that the user quota has not been exceeded.

If a very large message has been delivered, it is possible that the hard limit has been reached, which will cause vpopmail to fail because it can't create its temporary files.
