[Dovecot] POP does not seem to be working

[Gerard]

OK, I am brand new to this so please bear with me.

I have an FreeBSD 6.1 STABLE system. Postfix is installed with qpopper.
The mailboxes are standard mbox format.

I just installed Dovecot. At some point I want to update to a mdir
format, etc., but quite frankly I do not know how to go about that. In
any case, I shut down qpopper and started Dovecot. I modified the
Dovecot.conf file SSL settings (turned them off) since I do not have the
files it needs built yet.

Anyway, when using a mail client on another PC on my network, although
it makes a connection, no mail is ever downloaded. Ther is mail in the
folders however. Obviously I am doing something really wrong, but I am
not sure what. I would sure appreciate any assistance available.

The only information I have is in the 'log' file which shows the a
pop3-login, the user name, method=PLAIN, and two numeric addresses.

Thanks!
