This suggests that authentication succeeds, but popa3d either fails or
refuses to process the mailbox. The most common reason for this is the
compile-time mailbox size limit that popa3d has in order to prevent a
single huge mailbox from causing excessive load on the entire server.
Since most people don't bother to read documentation to become aware of
the limit and adjust it as necessary, I have raised the default all the
way up to 2 GB for popa3d 1.0+. Older versions of popa3d had the
default at 100 MB and later at 200 MB.
