I tested POP3 access from my laptop's Outlook which is on the same subnet as the dovecot/postfix server (so there's no firewall in between them & was able to get the emails in Outlook with following statuses shown when "Test Connection" is clicked:
Tasks Status ===================== ======== Establish network connection Completed Find outgoing mail server (SMTP) Completed Find incoming mail server (POP3) Completed Log onto incoming mail server (POP3) Completed Send test e-mail message Completed

However, maillog has the following errors (172.19.21.23 is my laptop). Are they critical or what I hv to do to fix them:
