firewall isn't on. The only log entries I can find are in system.log:

Oct 18 16:59:33 localhost xinetd[340]: START: pop3 pid=1655 from=127.0.0.1
Oct 18 17:00:34 localhost xinetd[340]: START: pop3 pid=1658 from=127.0.0.1
Oct 18 17:01:30 localhost xinetd[340]: START: pop3 pid=1661 from=127.0.0.1
Oct 18 17:02:31 localhost xinetd[340]: START: pop3 pid=1664 from=127.0.0.1
Oct 18 17:03:35 localhost xinetd[340]: START: pop3 pid=1667 from=127.0.0.1
Oct 18 17:04:32 localhost xinetd[340]: START: pop3 pid=1670 from=127.0.0.1

When I launch qpopper without xinetd, I just get returned back to the shell. No error, no nothing.

Open up the System Preferences, and click "Sharing". Next, click "Firewall" and either disable the firewall, or add rules for pop3.

This might not be it, but then again, it might be!
Also, check qpopper's log file. The fact that it connects and then disconnects says that xinetd has opened the port properly, and qpopper is failing. You might want to try launching qpopper without xinted, just to see what happens.
