This means that the previous POP3 session died unexpectedly (because
the connection was closed before the client sent "QUIT") and the
working copy of the folder is still lying around (as e.g.
/var/tmp/.pop/<username> or similar). You need to delete the file
before the user can access their mail spool via POP3.
The pop3d should have come with a script (rm_stale.sh) which would
typically be run from cron to delete such files.
