(Sorry about the HTML, I assume this is now plain text?)

The mailbox size was only 150K, I reduced it to zero (just deleted the contents via the mail server's console) and it still fails.
I'm using whatever version the Red Hat RPN is.

You managed to post your message as HTML only, making it unreadable in

Thunderbird to send messages as plain text.

This suggests that authentication succeeds, but popa3d either fails or
refuses to process the mailbox.  The most common reason for this is the
compile-time mailbox size limit that popa3d has in order to prevent a
single huge mailbox from causing excessive load on the entire server.

Since most people don't bother to read documentation to become aware of
the limit and adjust it as necessary, I have raised the default all the
way up to 2 GB for popa3d 1.0+.   Older versions of popa3d had the
default at 100 MB and later at 200 MB.
