[Dovecot] How to configure POP3 access in Dovecot?
Hi,
I'am new to Dovecot and Postfix...
I have made a Postfix installation as "Internet with Smarthost".
I'am using a domain in Godaddy, I have point "A (Host) Record" to my IP and the "MX Record" is also pointing to my IP. I have tested sending e-mail from my gmail.com account to my server, the server receive e-mails from gmail.comto my /home/andre/mbox successfully, the server is also sending mails by SMTP successfully.
Now I need to configure POP3, I have been searching but I don't know what to do... I only need to receive e-mails in my windows machines in Outlook Express.
I have test telnet in my localhost with "telnet mydomain.com 110"
It appears:
Trying 127.0.0.1 Connected to localhost +OK Dovecot ready
Then I try to auth by telnet with:
user andre@mydomain.com +OK pass mypass -ERR Authentication failed.
I know that my password it's ok.
When I try to "telnet mydomain.com 110" on other computer with another IP on Internet I get blank screen.
My question: What can I do to, or what can I read to configure POP3 successfully?
Best Regards, Andre.
