I'm also using slackware 9.0 and made a diff of my params.h against yours.
I found lots of comments that were changed (lines wrapped) and the following
#define-lines modified (/tmp/params.h is yours):

$ diff params.h /tmp/params.h | grep \#define
< #define MAX_MAILBOX_MESSAGES          100000
< #define MAX_MAILBOX_BYTES             100000000

These shouldn't matter, i think that's just because i'm using an older
version...

< #define AUTH_FAILED_MESSAGE           "Authentication failed (bad password?)"

But here obviously your editor broke that line into two. It wouldn't be
surprising if that breaks something.

< #define MAIL_SPOOL_PATH                       "/var/spool/mail"
> #define MAIL_SPOOL_PATH                       "/var/mail"

Are your mailboxes really in /var/mail?

Does the syslog show some messages from popa3d?

Bye,
