I am able to use a mail client to login to the pop3 server. The authentication works, and it logs as a successful login, but no messages download. I get a response: No New Messages.
I have checked the user's maildir directory, and there are mails sitting in the new directory, so it should download.
Is default_mail_env set correctly, so it's actually looking into ~/Maildir instead of somewhere else? Has Dovecot created ~/Maildir/.INBOX/ directory? If not, it's looking into wrong place.
Yes, this was part of the problem. I was trying to use maildir. I discusses this with another Linux admin, and he advised against using maildir for incoming messages, that mbox would suit my needs better.
Once I configured the mail env correctly, it worked fine.
The part I don't understand, is that I am using maildir on another server at my office, and it works fine with Dovecot using the same config.
I must have done something different last time, but it works for now.
Thanks for your help gentlemen!
