[Dovecot] How to log POP3 events

[Cliff Hayes]

Chris,

I loaded Alpha 4 and now I'm back to square one.  Can't authenticate.

I've turned off Dovecot .99 (chkconfig dovecot off, service dovecot stop),
and am using the /usr/local/sbin/dovecot to start

I know I'm editing the correct config file (/usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf)
because I changed the name and dovecot noticed.

I've made the following changes to dovecot.conf

protocols = pop3
ssl_disable = yes
default_mail_env = default_mail_env =
mbox:/tmp:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=MEMORY
mail_extra_groups = mail
passdb shadow

When I try to pop from Outlook Express, it keeps prompting me for a
password.

HELP!

Cliff

I'd tend to agree, but Timo is quite conservative with version numbers.

We're running "Dovecot-1.0-stable" in production, which was a "frozen"
version of "Dovecot-1.0-testXX" series with important bugfixes backported.

In practice, Dovecot-1.0-alpha4 has less bugs, and is probably now the
most "stable" 1.0 version (I'd consider it at least a beta, or even a
release candidate). There are lots of bugs in 0.99.x that probably
aren't going to get fixed.

Best Wishes,
Chris
