If you have a file called "~/mbox", UW will move the mail there. If you don't have it the mail will stay in "/var/spool/mail/[username]" (or similar). At lest that's how it works in my setup. I suggest you make sure that you make sure that "/var/spool/mail/[username]" is empty (size 0) and then "mv ~/mbox /var/spool/mail/[username]". Just keep in mind that once you've fetched your mail using your POP3 client, you won't be able to access them from other clients, such as SquirrelMail, since they will be stored locally in your POP3 client and not on the server.
