Are your users using Outlook Express by any chance? There is a known problem with OE where the pop3 download dies if it comes across a message with an empty body. There was a bunch of discussion on the list about this problem not too long ago. There is not an official solution, but there was at least one patch posted to add a line to the end of the email to avoid the problem. Personally, I just find and delete the offending emails when they show up.
