 Just because there's a 0 byte .mailbox.pop file left behind, that DOES 
NOT mean the mailbox is locked. There's a separate mailbox.lock file 
that does that dude.

 If you see a 0 byte .mailbox.pop file, it's nothing to worry about. If the 
mail account was really locked you'd be seeing "pop lock busy" errors 
in your /var/log/messages file.

 You may be chasing a ghost here (in other words, this is normal).
