Did you change the vpopmail user's uid after compiling vpopmail? If so,
recompile vpopmail (since the uid is hardcoded into the binary) and (this
part is very important) fix the uid in /var/qmail/users/assign then run
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu to update the cdb.
I found out the important part the hard way after moving a mail server from
box to box.
