The only reason for this that I can think of is: The user didn't really
log in to that server, at least using that username. (Or that the user
initialization failed at login, but that would log an error.) Find the
user's POP3 login line from logs.

The only effects that restarting Dovecot has is that it 1) reloads
configs, which shouldn't matter in this case and 2) it kills of existing
connections.
