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

You want to have the MTA/LDA deliver to the same location where Dovecot expects to read mail. -- Offlist mail to this address is discarded unless "/dev/rob0" or "not-spam" is in Subject: header
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. /Lars tir, 24 11 2009 kl. 15:44 -0600, skrev /dev/rob0:> On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 10:25:22PM +0100, Lars Nielsen wrote: > > 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/ > ---------------------^ D > > > mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir > -------------------------------^ d > > "D" is not "d".
