What does HTTP have to do with this? And how are you browsing mail
folders or sending mail from an HTTP connection?
For that matter, you can't normally connect to multiple folders, send
mail, or move mails between folders with POP. POP deals only with your
one "INBOX" folder and retrieving mail from it; it's the only folder
that exists as far as POP is concerned. SMTP is used to send mail.
The only protocol which might be dealing with moving mail between
folders is IMAP.

That and a few more commands (dele, uidl, etc.) are about all that POP
servers do... which is kind of surprising that you're getting that far
given that "pop4" is not any normal service definition.

What HTML error messages? HTML shouldn't come into the picture at all.
Stick to POP (pop3). Can you make a connection to the server on the
pop3 port (110)? Does it work?

Is this where your popper binary is located? What is the ownership and
permissions on the file? In other words, what does
"ls -l /usr/qpopper4.0.4/popper" show?
