[Dovecot] Fw: POP3 issues
Sorry - forgot to mention it is on Dovecot version 1.0.7 and RHEL 5.6
Tom
I have been trying off and on for the better part of a year to get a dovecot server migrated from one machine to another. It is currently working on CENTOS and we are trying to get it on Redhat. Currently I have everything migrated and >working in IMAP, but we have one client device that requires POP3 (doesn't support IMAP). To this end, we have set up everything to work in POP3 as far as I can tell.
In the dovecot.conf file, we show:
protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv }
The services running include:
dovecot-auth imap-login imap-login imap-login pop3-login pop3-login pop3-login
Everything else looks good including the logs which seem to show proper connectivity - messages are being received, accounts are connecting and disconnecting, etc. but the pop connections are not (apparently) passing messages >found in that box. They are still just sitting there, not being read, picked up, or otherwise delivered by dovecot. Any ideas on what else I can check or change to get this to pick up?
Thanks, Tom Higgins

it makes small sense to support in such old version, anyway give us the output of dovecot -n
you should not invest time in migrate to old versions go for 2.1.17 or 2.2.4

Thanks for the fast response. Here is the output:

Nevermind - Due to your response, I was able to get the admin to agree to upgrade the version to a 2.x version. If the problem persists I will open a new thread. Thanks for reviewing.
