Hey all this is my first post to this list. I have fresh Red Hat AS 4.0 with postfix 2.1. This will be my mail server. I have one problem with pop3. My mail server is working properly. I did the following test: Sent an email to some other server(yahoo.com)->email got there fine.
From that other server(yahoo.com) replaied-> to the new server and email got there fine,checked using pine. Now in x windows on the mail server if i lunch email client software and set up the account, then i can send and receive emails fine so pop3 is working. But when i go to different machine like PC set up outlook then i cannot receive emails. I get error in outlook that the connection has failed. So i telnet 192.168.1.10 110 and I have gotten response from the server 250 dovecot OK. I really dont what to do at this time. I have been trying couple different things without any luck..... need some help? Mike

Try to enable next options in dovecot.conf: mail_debug = yes auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes
and restart dovecot.
These options should help you to understand the reasons of your trouble. Take a look in dovecot log file.

Thanks for your replay It was the firewall on linux. I had to add device to trusted devices and its working now. But I have different problem. I cannot get Eudora 6 to work on Mac. Outlook is working fine everywhere but everytime i tried to download msgs from the server i was getting this error: wrong authentication. I have checked the password few times server and everything. I tried that account in outlook and it was working, any ideas what might be wrong with that ? Thanks for the hints about debug. I`m sure it will be helpful at some point.

Check mechanisms' parameter in auth section of dovecot.conf file, all auth section (password and user databases) and disable_plaintext_auth' setting.
The way used by client to send password must conform to dovecot settings
(plain/encrypted passwords etc).
And again, if you cannot get something to work take a look in log-file. Usually there are enough information to solve the problem. Description of problem given by you does not give much information.

I set option disable_plaintext_auth = no then i set the auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = yes saved file, restarted dovecot try to loging using that damn eudora and still get error not supported authentication mechanism. I checked the logs right after that and the only thing i've seen there was that client was disconected. If i use this line mail_debug = yes I get an error saying that this is not dovecot syntax.

So you're using 0.99.x Dovecot? Earlier 0.99.x Dovecots had problems with Eudora+POP3. I'd recommend using 1.0alpha3 version instead. Or at least 0.99.14 doesn't have the problem.
