Can't help you much with POP I'm afraid, I've not got around to testing it yet (I'm a bit prejudiced against POP users in a University environment where IMAP makes much more sense - store it on our server, we back it up for you, you can access it from anywhere etc.)
Have you tried opening the same mailbox with IMAP? Try something like
telnet <server> 143 x LOGIN <username> "<password>" x SELECT INBOX x LOGOUT
and see how many messages it reports.
I gather from your second message that you're using Maildirs rather than mbox (if not, upgrade to dovecot-stable-20050427, especially if your mboxes have the Washington IMAP pseudo-message at the top).
It may also be worth deleting the indexes (in the .imap directory, I think - can't remember for sure in Maildirs) see doc/index.txt and doc/mail-storages.txt
Best Wishes, Chris

Hello,
I'm currently experiencing, that 0 messages are shown at the pop3-prompt:
list +OK 0 messages: .
But the cur-folder containes 74 files. How can this happen? Why aren't they removed physically?
