I am able to send mail, but can not receive it. The error I am getting in outlook is: I have checked the properties and it is all correct. I have no idea what I need to do to fix it.
Make sure you use the correct username (something like web<id>_<username>). If you're sure this is ok, then try to send yourself an email - it is possible that the mailbox doesn't exist yet, and that Outlook is giving you the error therefore. When the first email arrives, the mailbox is created, and then everything should be fine.
I did use the correct name and I did email something to from that account to another. I received the email on the other address and I replied to it and it came back wth this error:

hmmm....ok...that makes sence....how do I fix that? I see where it is pulling the mail.facetsofgem.com, that is what is on easydns...I just don't know where to go from here....
You must create an A record for mail.facetsofgem.com pointing to your ISPConfig server's public IP address.
The authoritative name server is ns0.easydns.com so I guess you have a web frontend from easydns.con where you can configure this? Because somehow you must have created the MX record before (unless someone else did it).
I set it up with easydns to only handle the dns.....there is an option there for them to handle email or for me to handle it...I have it marked for me to handle the email...and that is where mail.facetsofgem.com is located.... so since I followed the Fedora Core Perfect Set Up, I should be able to specify my own mail server correct? So how do I edit or look at the MX record?
The MX record is on the easydns DNS server, you have to change the MX there to point to the domain of your server.
I went to easydns and I am showing the A record is set to facetsofgem.com. and then in the section for mx settings I have it pointing to my own mail server facetsofgem.com I changed it from mail.facetsofgem.com to facetsofgem.com this morning, but I am still not able to sent or reveive mail. Is there something else I need to be putting for the mx settings?
If 12.208.218.84 is your IP, the the DNS resoves to your Server. Which error do you get when you send an email to your server? Are there any errors in the mail.log?

You're using ipop3d which means you must disable Maildir in ISPConfig under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email. After that, I'd simply restart ipop3d and see if the error persists: Code: /etc/init.d/inetd restart Also, make sure you send an email first to that account before you try to fetch emails.
The box for Maildir is disabled, it is not checked anyway. I tried to restart ipop3d using Code: /etc/init.d/inetd restart Got an error saying there was no such file
Then I guess you're using xinetd. Try Code: /etc/init.d/xinetd restart Which distribution do you use?
