What do you mean by "doesn't" work? Before you say you cannot even create
them.
Without further information it's hard to help you.

Version of tpop3d?
tpop3d.conf?
entry in the database? (select * from popbox where domain_name="dom.ain"
and local_part="user.with.dots")
Where do you encounter the error? What is the exact message/behaviour?

Guessing isn't much fun in such things...
