dovecot - Jun 2004 - Getting POP3 up and running

Hi!

Now that I happily smiling have Squirrelmail working on the new setup
(Fedora Core 2), the next hurdle seems to be getting POP3 to work.

According to my understanding of the documentation I changed the protocols
line in dovecot.conf to:

#protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s

then restarted dovecot, but still can't connect to pop3 (not even after
rebooting the whole system).

Doing an nmap on my server does not show port 110 as open.

Any clues as to what I may be overlooking?

Thanks for your support,
Antonio

Did you really just change the commented out line?

If so then you didn't do anything :(

You will need to uncomment the line and restart it.

The "#" at the beginning of the line is a comment.
