That isn't what you wanted to do
You have to use Maildir format files (not a softlink to the Mailbox).
Maildir format uses separate files for each mail message, mailbox uses one
file.
qmail's Pop server doesn't handle mbox format.
You need to use something like /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake in each user
directory (run "as" the user) to create the Maildir hierarchy. Then you
need to change "Maildir" to "./Maildir/" in your qmail start script. Then
you can download one of the tools like mbox2maildir to convert your mbox
formatted files to Maildir format.
then you should be a bit farther..
