Plus if you ever need to goto the qmail list for help the first thing they're going to say is to uninstall the emerged package and reinstall with LWQ.

I'm trying to connect to the pop3 | server via MS Outlook on my Win2K box - but I'm getting a consistent | authentication failure. Not knowing enough about Qmail (yet), I'm hoping Ok a few things to check. $ sudo svstat /service/qmail-pop3d /service/qmail-pop3d/log/ /service/qmail-pop3d: up (pid 10918) 423287 seconds /service/qmail-pop3d/log/: up (pid 1176) 2459758 seconds
(this is the output from mine) your directories may be different. The first thing to check is ensure that both the main service and the logging subsystem say up and they've been running for more then 1 second.
second you need to make sure you have a checkpassword interface installed on gentoo (emerge net-mail/checkpassword).
If that package is installed, the next thing to check is the pop3 run script is calling the checkpassword interface, it should be the command afer your hostname in the /service/qmail-pop3d/run.
ie
exec /usr/bin/tcpserver -x/etc/tcp.pop3.cdb -v -H -R -c200 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup medusa.blahz.ab.ca /var/qmail/bin/auth_pop /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d ./Maildir/ 2>&1
My run script uses the auth_pop checkpassword cause I'm using qmail-ldap but yours should look similar.
Lastly you'd need to test you checkpassword interface you can do it like this
printf "%s\0%s\0%s\0" username password Y123456 | /bin/checkpassword id 3<&0
That's supposed to be on one line.
You should get the same output as if you run id by hand under your user account.
Ok I think that's long enough for right now. If anything isn't here doesn't work that's the spot to look at. If you need some more help just post back :).
