Try 'ls -l /var/spool/mail/.<user>.pop'
as this is the lockfile created by 
Qpopper when someone checks their e-mail.

Also, check the /var/log/maillog as this
will have the entries from Qpopper to show
you what's happening when this user tries
to check pop-3.

That or 'telnet <server> 110' and negotiate
it yourself via:

'user <user>'
'pass <password>'

To see what error pops up.
