Firstly - I apologise if this appears twice. In experimenting with a new mailserver -as well as the old, I may not have picked up mail on the correct sever to verify if it worked. I am trying to connect PC clients to the linux mailserver using pop3 and imap. (I like imap, but have previously used non encrypted passwords) Doen't seem to matter what i select in Outlook Express setup I either get the username/password rejected - or it doesn't support the connection method. I have used the run level editor to get smtp, smtpd, pop3, pop2 and imap running - although I can't see anything in ps-A Used sysconfig bit of yast to setup the odd line in postfix and checked that mail goes out and comes into our linux box via external connection - which it does. Where should I start looking? (apart from another job as a golf green keeper) -- Alan Davies Head of Computing Birkenhead School
