I've solved the puzzle with help from Gene but I don't understand what's
going on. The issue was passwords.
I use the LDAP Browser Editor on a W2K machine to add/change user info on
the qmail server. When I put this system into production I did a mass change
to all my users to change their mail attribute from the test environment to
the working one.
Both IMAP & sqwebmail worked fine & authenticate as expected. POP didn't.
When I looked in the LDAP Browser the password field was blank. When I
reentered the password POP works.
Thanks for the help.

Can you send the logs from your server.
