[snip] I'm confused. Is the pop3 servier installed with SuSE 9.3 worthless without ssl or ldap? When I turn on pop and use evolution, the logs indicated that no user was sent, but when I used fetchmail with verbose, it looks like it doesn't accecpt USER authentication.

I use the standard pop3 server on my home machine. It is compiled to allow ssl-logins only, so you'll need to issue a certificate for it and work off, I think, port 995 et al. Instructions for this are in the SuSE knowledgebase or, possibly, on your HD under /usr/share/doc/packages/imap/README.SuSE which covers both pop3 and imap. Alternatively, use a server that is compiled to work in the old plain text way. :) Fish
