    Hi there,
    Im a linux newbie , I tried thr Fedora core4 perfect setup, everything works fine, except for POP authentication failure while recieving email. I tried telnet host.mydomain.com 110 , the system did not accept the password, bad login...... I can send mail but i cant recieved mail. I have a registered DNS and mx record. I wonder why and how ... what is my problem....God Bless

    Did you install ISPConfig? Did you install dovecot as pop3 daemon or another pop3 daemon?

    Which errors do you get in the mail log?

    What's in your mail log? What's the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    ?
    Is Maildir enabled or disabled under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email?

    How do you mean that? :confused: Do you change it manually, or does someone else change it?
