Good morning Ruud,
First of all the log line 'pop3d' is not Postfix saying that to you. It
is a pop/imap server which I guess is courier.
That to one side, this will almost certainly be the wrong leading path
set somewhere *or* chrooting.
I am sure that directory advies4you.nl/admin/ does not exists, but
/home/advies4you.nl/admin/ may do - so the leading directory is missing
somewhere.
Postfix for example defines the top directory in main.cf like this;
queue_directory = /path/to/queue/directory/ {don't change this... just
for example}
Dovecot Pop/Imap has:
mail_location = maildir:/path/to/mailbox/%h/
I'm not familiar with courier imap/pop server but you will probably find
a similar directive in the configuration file that needs to be set to
point to the directory where advies4you.nl/admin/ can be found.
There is also an outside chance that there is some chroot issue going on
here, but I would forget this until you prove that your popd is looking
in the right top directory.
