Version 4.1 has a number of significant improvements, so you might 
consider upgrading (although I don't think this has anything to do 
with what you're reporting).

Have you tried enabling debug logging in Qpopper (at least for your 
account) to see the errors from the server's point of view?  I'd 
suggest that as a starting point.

Do you have the Qpopper password change daemon configured?  Is it 
generating any errors?  Are you allowing the connection?
