The "/path_to_inbox" part is wrong.  Anything other than "inbox" here will
be rejected.

I apologize for the mistake.  The above should read:

/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|

In .pinerc define under incoming-folders:

"Description string" {pop3_hostname.domain/pop3}

/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|

Hope it helps.  It works for me.
