When Qpopper starts it checks for leftover mail in the temp drop; it

That indicates something is wrong.  The temp spool should not be 
getting corrupted.  Are you sure you're using the latest version of 
Qpopper?  I think there was an early version, perhaps 2.53, that 
could create a large temp spool full of junk under some circumstances.
