Hello
I cannot retrieve mail via pop3 using dovecot. I have mail in my mailbox (postfix works fine, maildir contains more then 5 mail files), I use virtual user. I also changed auth to plaintext for debugging purpuse.
server: Dovecot 1.0.7 CenoOS 5.4
client: Thunderbird on Kubuntu, username: jure@hrabri.org pass:jure
I tried different parameters and was closest to success with this:
Relevant parts from dovecot.conf:
auth default { mechanisms = plain login CRAM-MD5
userdb passwd-file { args = /home/vmail/%d/passwd } passdb passwd-file { args = /home/vmail/%d/shadow }
log:

I don't really understand this log. Is says Client out: OK, and then unknown user. Where? In passwd file? Adding domainname after username in passwd only makes it worse. And why master in? I did not configure master user.
Thanks for any help.
