    Hi all,

    did anyone encountered a problem with IMAP/POP3 using Fedora Core 4 perfect install. I was able to install everything including ISPconfig. I tested send and receive and it was perfectly alright. I was able to send mail to my gmail account and was able to receive mail on the server using Maildir format. But when I try to do POP3 and IMAP (webmail) I cant download my mails from my mailbox. What can be the problem? Please shed light need your help badly.

    Here is a sample of my /var/log/maillog

    Feb 16 23:33:29 niflheim ipop3d[13414]: pop3 service init from 61.9.32.116
    Feb 16 23:33:30 niflheim ipop3d[13414]: Login user=carlo.dumlao host=[61.9.32.116] nmsgs=0/0
    Feb 16 23:33:30 niflheim ipop3d[13414]: Logout user=carlo.dumlao host=[61.9.32.116] nmsgs=0 ndele=0y mail directory.

    For what it is worth, I have tried restarting postfix saslauthd and xinetd to no avail.

    HELP GUYS.

    Does it work with a normal email client like Outlook or Thunderbird?

    What's the exact error message from Uebimiau?

    Please post the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap

    You're using ipop3d which uses mbox format. Please disable Maildir under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email.

    You will have to install an other pop3 daemon like courier or dovecot.
