You may have already figured this out by now, but it seems that you may
have wrong permissions on the Maildir. Check the ownership and
permissions on the maildir. If I remember correctly, the pop daemon will
give you that auth failure if the Maildir in question is not owned by the
user, even though the username and password are correct.
I know I have gotten this error before, and if I remember correctly (it's
late) that was the problem.
