How did you configure it?

You say you compiled it; did you build it from pkgsrc? (Because the log
message above indicates it is a package.)

Have a look at the FAQ:
  http://www.eudora.com/qpopper/faq.html#IO.ERR

But this doesn't tell you much; maybe you can enable debugging and see
what else the server can tell you.

Also, qpopper has a mailing list at http://www.pensive.org/mailing_lists/
