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!
