Timo-
Thanks for all the help. After I changed the permissions to the virtual user I setup I had a few small issues but was able to work through them. Now IMAP is running great. But my new question is, do I need to do anything to get it to work with POP? My server refuses to respond on 110 and I'm wondering if there is something I need to do? I was under the impression that Dovecot can handle both POP/IMAP requests.
TIA
Tom
This is what I have:
Protocols we want to be serving:
imap imaps pop3 pop3s
protocols = imap pop3
IP or host address where to listen in for connections. It's not currently
possible to specify multiple addresses. "*" listens in all IPv4
interfaces.
"[::]" listens in all IPv6 interfaces, but may also listen in all IPv4
interfaces depending on the operating system. You can specify ports with
"host:port".
imap_listen = * pop3_listen = *
When I run NMAP this is what I get back:
PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh 111/tcp open rpcbind 143/tcp open imap
Now the only time I need to uncomment something in the conf file is if I change it from the default settings, correct? Do I need to have anything setup in my xinetd.d directory?

Well, that should work.. Does ps show any pop3-login processes? Do you have pop3-login binary?

Right.

Dovecot doesn't use inetd by default. Or did you setup imap via inetd?
I set it up using xinet.d and turns out you need to call the file pop3 not just pop in the /etc/xinetd.d directory. Thanks for jarring my memory....it's the small things you always forget to overlook.
The good news is now both IMAP and POP are working without error!!!
Thanks for all the help Timo, I'm rather impressed with Dovecot and you got yourself a loyal user from here out.

It's not listening on 110 at all, that's the problem.
