Hello
I cannot retrieve mail via pop3 using dovecot. I have mail in my mailbox
(postfix works fine, maildir contains more then 5 mail files), I use
virtual user. I also changed auth to plaintext for debugging purpuse.
server:
Dovecot 1.0.7
CenoOS 5.4
client: Thunderbird on Kubuntu, username: j...@hrabri.org pass:jure
I tried different parameters and was closest to success with this:
Relevant parts from dovecot.conf:
auth default {
mechanisms = plain login CRAM-MD5
userdb passwd-file {
args = /home/vmail/%d/passwd
}
passdb passwd-file {
args = /home/vmail/%d/shadow
}
log:

I don't really understand this log. Is says Client out: OK, and then
unknown user. Where? In passwd file? Adding domainname after username in
passwd only makes it worse. And why master in? I did not configure
master user.
Thanks for any help.
