firstly I'd stop ttrying to get virtual domains working, and make sure
qmail itself is working and delivering mail to postmaster's mailbox on the
machine itself. Once this is working virtual domains can be added
afterwards. then as you move forwards in developing the mail service you
can ask for help, and when something breaks undo what you did last and
things will works again.

yes, one for qmail-smptd, and one for qmail-pop3d

1/ what command lines are you using to start the popmail service? post the
actual scripts you use, not anything else, and don't obfusticate/edit them.
2/ did the mail arrive in the right location on the system
3/ of the pop3 tcpserver is (say) PID 98765 do something like:
strace -ff -o /tmp/pop3 -p 98765
and try ONCE to download the mail. there should be a whole bunch of
files in /tmp called pop3 and pop3.nnnnnn read them and see which one
failed and why.
(ps when using the webmail thingy you are using keep your lines VERY short,
it seems to put lots of space in at the beginnning of each line.)
