Ok I run qmail here and funny thing was outlook wasnt logging into it. Thought I had been hacked or something. To see what the problem was I telnetted into my qmail box using
telnet mail.farrowcomputing.com 110
port 110 is the port designated to pop3, then put in your username
user “username”
pass “password”
Try to increase the softlimit for pop3d which is found in your pop3d run script such as /var/qmail/service/pop3d/run (for e.g.):
blah blah… softlimit -m 2000000 to higher value.
Thankyou so much for this

thanks a lot
I have the same problem, but setting an higher value of softlimit didn’t helped out (in fact, i haven’t recieved any mails yet)
But, shouldn’t the dirs in $HOME/Maildir be created per automatic ? Becouse, it haven’t for me ($HOME/Maildir is empty).
Please help.
the directories have to be created using the uitility maildirmake in the /var/qmail/bin directory – you should read the lifewithqmail document on qmail.org
Thanks dear,
This has really save my time.
Great work keep it up

Thanks a lot for this solution! I was starting to think my Qmail box had been attacked, which is un-thinkable, seeing as its the most secure email MTA on the planet! Its been running without error for about 3 years and this problem started yesterday. I changed the softlimit and bang, all fixed.
FYI: For those still having issues, The Life With Qmail site is amazing and the author of the site, Dave Sill, wrote a book “The Qmail Handbook” that may be the most perfect technical manual ever written. I still use it religiously.
