um...do you have a pop server running?
dovecot?
Dovecot is configured to serve imap.
If it is explicitly configured for ONLY imap then of course pop3
will not work. So a "telnet localhost imap" is called for. Of course,
actually logging in is a pain and probably will require reading and
figuring out the imap RFCs. It requires an N digit serial number with
leading zeros in front of each command.
Is it configured to accept pop3 connections?
You mean locally? It's configured to accept imap connections on the lan,
but I was still at the stage of testing fetchmail on the command line,
so I shouldn't have introduced any further complications.
is it running?
Yes, it's running, and I can connect. From this box I can see the
messages I moved into one of its folders. (The aim is to copy across
all mail onto that laptop, so that it can function as server while I
rebuild the real server).
Then what IS the problem?
