Hello there,

I am a new user of Dovecot. I am using version 1.2.12. Here is the config file:

I attached the dovecot.conf file as a screenshot using dovecot -n because I am blind and haven't quite figured out how to copy from the terminal to Gnome yet. My intentions here are as follows:

1. To allow only pop3s because I want to use ssl for security.

2. I am going to be using fetchmail to grab the mail and give it to dovecot.

3. There will be three people adventually grabbing their mail through pop3s.

Another question I have is when you tell someone to configure their mail client through pop3s how does that work as far as the server name meaning like most ISp's have pop.whatever.whatever.?

Also I am using a smarthost with postfix to send out the mail through Google how do I tell someone how to configure the smtp server in their mail client such as Isp's such as smtp.whatever.whatever. I am using Windows for two of the clients with Windows Mail on a Vista machine and Windows Mail on a Windows 7 machine and Evolution on a Ubuntu linux machine. Looks to me like everything is copeastetic except for how to log in. The SSL cert file in "/etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem" is a bit tricky cause I didn't create the cert so I am not sure of the password but I did try my normal root password. Not sure if that works. Other than this actually Dovecot is quite easy to config.
