[Dovecot] new to dovecot
Hi there,
I have installed debian with exim4 postgresql 8.3 and dovecot 1.0.15. I have the mail delivery part done, so when i send mail it gets delivered in ~/MailDir/ I have tried to authenticate via passwd and postgresql but with no luck. I have read a lot on google but i cannot get dovecot to give me the mails via pop3. Is there a tutorial somewhere i have missed?
so far i have messed up my config like this : # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot/errors.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: pop3 pop3s login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_debug: yes mail_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 pop3_uidl_format: %08Xu%08Xv auth default: verbose: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd
regards Lars Nielsen

"D" is not "d". You want to have the MTA/LDA deliver to the same location where Dovecot expects to read mail.
yes, I have the same small "d" in both the path and in the dovecot.conf. Just a typo in my email. I miss a getting started guide or something like that. I really dont know how to get up and running with the pop-server.
