it works, thanks Eduardo!

i have a question for anyone who know, can i use SSL and system passwords not the plain text file (passwd.dovecot)? it's look a little strange to me to have the password in a plain text file.

regards,

I did'nt know that i have to install first SSL then recompile with CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/ssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib ./configure

it's ok now but the server does not accept the password

There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your User Name was rejected. Account: '10.10.10.4', Server: '10.10.10.4', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Plaintext authentication disallowed on non-secure connections.', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC91

Your client is not connecting with SSL. I guess that's not what you want.

In dovecot.conf, enable the protocol pop3s (right in the beginning), and configure your clients to use SSL. The default port for POP3 over SSL is 995, if I recall correctly.
