Hello, I have reinstalled my server and are using Dovecot with IMAP + POP3. When using IMAP everything works fine but for POP3 accounts I get in Thunderbird: In the syslog I don't find very much Any idea what could be wrong?
After installing Dovecot, you have to configure your /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, did you do that already? Probably, you also see in ISPConfig that pop3 is not running...
I am not using using ISPConfig and just realized that I posted in the wrong installation/configuration forum, sorry! Yes, I have configured dovecot.conf Parts of the setup is from these sites: http://johnny.chadda.se/2007/04/15/...cot-with-mysql-and-tlsssl-postgrey-and-dspam/ http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier_ubuntu_edgy netstat -tap Code: root@frodo:/var/log# netstat -tap Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 localhost.localdo:10024 *:* LISTEN 5239/amavisd (maste tcp 0 0 localhost.localdo:10025 *:* LISTEN 6719/master tcp 0 0 localhost.localdo:mysql *:* LISTEN 5359/mysqld tcp 0 0 *:pop3 *:* LISTEN 5758/dovecot tcp 0 0 *:imap2 *:* LISTEN 5758/dovecot tcp 0 0 *:webmin *:* LISTEN 5962/perl tcp 0 0 localhost.localdoma:ipp *:* LISTEN 5271/cupsd tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 6719/master Shouldn't saslauthd be running?
Saslauthd has nothing to do with fetching mails, it's used only for sending. And you don't find saslauthd in the netstat output, you must search the output of Code: ps aux for it. What's in your dovecot.conf?
Hello, I think I got it working with the setting: disable_plaintext_auth = no Is this good or bad? Other solution?? Below you will find the dovecot.conf (with the comments removed) Code: ## Dovecot configuration file base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ protocols = imap pop3 protocol imap { listen = *:143 ssl_listen = *:993 } protocol pop3 { listen = *:110 ssl_listen = *:995 } disable_plaintext_auth = no log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " syslog_facility = mail ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/domain/mailserver/mail-cert.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/domain/mailserver/mail-key.pem ssl_verify_client_cert = yes ssl_parameters_regenerate = 168 verbose_ssl = yes mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u mail_extra_groups = mail mail_debug = yes first_valid_uid = 5000 last_valid_uid = 5000 protocol imap { login_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap imap_max_line_length = 65536 imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle } protocol pop3 { login_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login mail_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds =outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } protocol lda { postmaster_address = [email protected] sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master } auth_verbose = no auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } user = root socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0660 user = vmail group = mail } client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } } dict { } plugin { }
