[Dovecot] Cant get the config file just right
Hello, I have been trying to get POP3 on my ubuntu server for the past week now (In Las Vegas on a family vacation carrying my netbook from hotel to hotel.) My config file is below I am trying to access pop3 from Outlook Express and Thunderbird with no luck. When ever I try to access pop3 with one of these two programs I get a prompt saying my user/pass is invalid and I am asked to logon again. I cant figure out whats wrong?!? Help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!!:-D

Maybe it's right? What do the log files say? (somewhere in /var/log/auth.log on the server there sure is a hint on what is happening. At least I'd guess that, since your config tells dovecot to use PAM).
There is some config setting to debug authentication, but it escapes me at the moment (just ask again and I'll look it up).

Which dovecot version are you using? (a "dpkg -l dovecot" on the server or similar might help).
