This is all it’s showing me in the log:

I just logged in and ran the commands. you can see my login, but it’s not logging any errors… Although it won’t let me select my inbox on that user…

I’m hosted with amazon web services and I’m waiting on them to approve my request to white list my IP on my instance, but that should only restrict my ability to send email out on port 25… I should still be able to operate locally…
