I'm using FreeBSD 4.8 with dovecot from the ports collection.
First I am first trying to fetch mail via POP3. Clients are both OE6 and Mozilla. Both exhibit the same behavior: the client says it is receiving message 1 of (however many), but nothing happens; no message data is transferred. Mozilla seems to keep waiting forever, but OE6 times out after 60 seconds and lets me stop waiting.
Check the POP3 traffic that they're talking. That would tell at least something. http://dovecot.procontrol.fi/bugreport.html#sniffing
tcpdump reveals that the first message does get sent.
You can examine the tcpdump output here (I edited out my password):

Is this helpful?
There's nothing of interest in the logs. By the way, there seems to be no mention of what syslog facility is used by dovecot. What is it? I'm avoiding syslog for now and writing to specific files.
It's mail.
Hmm, OK. I'd rather keep my dovecot log separate from my MTA log, so I'll continue with my current setup.
Thanks!
