moving .pop files to a new location on a live server

Hi

I am having file lock problems. 1 customer has a soft quota of 50MB and hard
limit of 100MB and a 27MB mbox file.

a snip of the logs shows

Jun 11 12:00:46 proteus2 popper[6328]: martinco at 82.45.254.97
(82.45.254.97): -ERR POP timeout from myservers.name.here
Jun 11 19:27:25 proteus2 popper[4862]: (v4.0.8) Timeout (120 secs) during nw
read from martinco at 82.45.254.97 (82.45.254.97)
Jun 11 19:27:25 proteus2 popper[4862]: martinco at 82.45.254.97
(82.45.254.97): -ERR POP timeout from myservers.name.here
Jun 11 20:06:48 proteus2 popper[7819]: martinco at 82.45.254.97
(82.45.254.97): -ERR [IN-USE] /var/mail/.martinco.pop lock busy!  Is another
session active? (11)

i need to resolve this by using a separate location for the .pop files with
no quotas.
i have the space on a second drive that is not using quotas.

i started qpopper from command line with ./popper 111.222.333.444:110 -R

so how do i migrate to the separate drive. my worry is those processes
already running under /var/mail/spool/.username.pop

do i have to recompile with

./configure --enable-standalone --enable-temp-drop-dir=/users/qpopper/mail
make clean
make
make install

or does qpopper run better under inetd?
