Well sorry I didnt see that the pop3 doesnt work :) By a weird chance you might have lost your execute bit in your vchkpw program?. Try chmod u+x /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw
By the way you mentioned that you executed chown -R /home/vpopmail/domains but well hmm this command has the owner name missing?! chown -R vpopmail /home/vpopmail/domains is what you did right?
