Maria, 
according to 'man qmail-pop3d', it requires maildirname as the argument.

And I'm not sure why you try to run qmail-pop3d from command line...
qmail-pop3d is usually invoked from inetd, with a line like this:

pop3  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/qmail-popup   qmail-popup
your.server.name  /usr/bin/checkpassword  /usr/sbin/qmail-pop3d   Maildir

(all in _one_ line).
