It looks from your tcpdump that you don't even get a +OK response back from
teh PASS command.

Since ps shows pop3d running, it looks like the pop3d process got stuck
trying to open your Maildir.

So maybe they have wrong permissions or something.

You can run pop3d directly from the command line:

$ su <useraccount>
$ cd <home directory>
$ /path/to/pop3d ./Maildir

If that hangs, then you can run it under 'strace' to see what it's trying to
do.

But maybe a careful check of 'ls -lR' will show you the permissions problem.
