Bydefault RedHat uses wu-imap.  Try a:

	rpm -qf /usr/sbin/ipop3d


and chances are it'll be imap-2001a, which is the default.  Never seen 
this problem and I've been using the wu-imap package for quite awhile now.

I agree with the other poster about a misconfigured mail client.

Also are you trying to pop root's mailbox?
