I made a breakthrough on the signaled to death by 7 error..... I noticed in the log that the process crashed right after the user's seen file was accessed, so I made a backup of it and deleted it, and it looks like that did the trick... so the next question in this thread... since this was a user with a large amount of mail, can that seen state file be recovered in some way? still trying to turn pop back on too...
