It seems that you are suffering the same problem as me. I installed pop3d
from a earlier tgz that i have in my cds. It contains all sources to get
in.pop3d compiled. The instalation part of the makefile only copies the
file to /usr/sbin, the man pages, and creates the /usr/tmp/.pop directory.
But you should pay attention to the sources, because the mailbox are
retrieved from /usr/spool/mail instead of /var/spool/mail ...
There are two possible solutions to this, 1) modify and recompile the
sources, or make a symlink

myhost /usr# ln /var/spool spool -s

I hope this help you.
