Those "Folder Internal Data" pseudo-messages have nothing to do with QPopper. They are placed in the user's mail spool file (also in any Pine or IMAPD saved messages files) by Pine 4.x and the UW IMAPd server. They are ignored by Pine 4.x and by IMAPd, but are treated like any other message by other mail software.
The simplest solution, which won't break Pine or UW's IMAPd, is to use the "--enable-uw-kludge" option when you run QPopper's configue script, then recompile. That will make QPopper ignore the "Folder Internal Data" messages. Or, you can put "quell-internal-folder-msg" in a site-wide pine.conf.fixed configuration file. That will stop Pine from creating the pseudo-messages. Trouble is, this will break some of Pine 4.x's more advanced features. Also, it won't stop IMAPd from creating the messages.
