[vchkpw] POP3 Help

[Shawn Salyers]

Title: Message



I have done this
before, but it has been a long time. I ahve Qmail installed and
functioning. I have vpopmail installed and functioning with sqwebmail
 qmailadmin. I can get to my email accounts through sqwebmail without
a problem. When I try to use Outlook or Outlook Express, I get an invalid
username/password error. I am using [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the username and the
proper password. What am I missing. Any help would be
appreciated.

Have you tried troubleshooting this by telnetting directly to the POP3
server and talking POP3 to it? i.e.

telnet pop3.domain.com 110
Connected to pop3.domain.com.
+OK Hello there.
USER [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+OK Password required.
PASS password
+OK logged in.
QUIT
+OK Bye-bye.
Connection closed by foreign host.

Assuming this works, then the problem lies between your client and the
server. Either the client isn't talking POP3 or maybe port 110 is
blocked by a firewall?
