POP3 email from client

not that i seen maybe i was not looking at the right file. which file am i supposed to be looking at? is there a command to view logs or errors or something of that genre?

Thank you again for your consideration

 

Hi, I think i was viewing the files (i used vi) but all the errors and warnings files in mail and mailman were empty (i'm pretty sure i was doing the right thing since other files did contain text)

is there anything else i can look for? as a side note my outlook is not the only device that has a hard time connecting. as another side note once in a while it'll go super quick (only verified in my outlook)

 

What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /var/log

?
