I think maybe those mailboxes were created because you've mapped all user
home directories to the same folder (/var/mail), and thus, the first
user to log in created files that subsequent users could not access.

See this for the POP3 scenario you want:

(Section: Only /var/mail mboxes)
Don't need these
