    These are the logs when I send a message and I check for messages
    Code:

    It says the message has been delievered, and it has I can see it in the Maildir folder, but I am unable to retrieve the message :S

    I am useing the http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_3 guide as reference for my CentOS 3 setup.

    I am also unable to recieve the e-mail unless I chmod the folders to 777, even though the user has ownership of the folders.

    This is the message I get if I don't chmod to 777
    Code:
    Jan 19 16:04:02 server postfix/local[21408]: D1E9C41BC036: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=0, status=bounced (maildir delivery failed: create /home/phantomk/Maildir/tmp/1137708241.P21408.server.XXX.XXX: Permission denied)

    You're using ipop3d which uses the mbox format, not Maildir. So you should either have Postfix deliver to mbox, or you install a POP3/IMAP daemon that uses Maildir (e.g. Courier or Dovecot).

    If you want to stick with Maildir, then please post the output of
    Code:
    ls -la /home
    ls -la /home/phantomk
    ls -la /home/phantomk/Maildir
