So smtp is running, are you sure that it's qmail-smtpd? Did you remember to
kill sendmail?

Did you properly configure /var/qmail/users/assign?
You should also check your home directory on the server. Is there a
Maildir? does the "new" directory contained delivered but unretrieved
messages? Remo could well have a point about UW IMAP, if that is indeed
what you're still using. Did you install a pop server? Is it working?
What do your logs say?
If you aren't getting any error messages, and the emails aren't bouncing,
then they must be going somewhere?
Please post your /var/qmail/rc file (and probably at least a sample of your
assign file--we don't need 2000+ essentially identical lines) and tell us
both how you are checking for messages, and where on the server you are
expecting them to show up. Then maybe someone will be able to tell you why
you're wrong, and where they're actually going.
Oh yeah, and what Andrew said... permissions and ownership are crucial with
qmail.
