Hmm, so what appears in the logs when you fail to authenticate? Have you tried the "debug" POP client :) ?
telnet server 110
+OK University of Reading POP3 Server USER chris +OK PASS chrispassword +OK Logged in LIST 1 +OK 1 1234 QUIT +OK Logging out.

Yes, that's what I have. I also found this:
userdb prefetch { }
I must have missed that, so I commented that out and still had the same problem.
There is also this
user = root
in the auth default section.

So what do you have for passdb and userdb?
They should look something like
auth default { mechanisms = plain
passdb shadow { }
userdb passwd { }
...
(Earlier versions of 1.0, e.g. 1.0-stable, have just
passdb shadow userdb passwd
)
