You can put qpopper in debug mode, which will log all kinds of junk, i'd
make it write to another file if you do this, but for debugging client
problems it may be worthwhile.

in etc/inetd.comf , find pop-3 line, on the right side should be
in.qpopper, add <space>  -d -t /var/log/pop-debug

That will make it spew all kinds of details about the conection,
note: make sure the log file isn't world readable if you have users on the
machine, it will catch password failures in debug mode, sometimes
exposing actual passwords....(I've had silly people swap username/password
configuring clients)
