[opensuse] Re: POP3 mail server

31 Jan 2007

      It's really annoying when what worked with 10.1 does not work with 10.2!

I have postfix working and mail is arriving at my server.

I installed the imap package and POP3 is running on port 110 per nmap.

I created a certificate as I have in the past and as is currently
documented in the mail HOW-TO @ opensuse.org.

Attempting to configure Kmail:  Set up a POP3 account.  On the Extras
page "Check what the server supports" reports "Use TLS" and
Authentication:  "Clear Text".

Attempting to connect gives error:  "Could not connect to host  Your
POP3 server does not support TLS.  Disable TLS if you want to connect
without encription"

Disabling TLS on the Extras tab and reconnecting results in:  "Coult
not login to myserver.  The server said: 'Unknown AUTHORIZATION state
command'".

I've been unsuccessful finding any config files for POP3 that would
let me enable TLS.

DNS is working properly and I can sign on to my server from the client
as follows:  "ssh mylogin@mail.myserver".  The first time I do that,
it fetches the certificate and subsequently the logons are clean.

Can anybody advise me how to configure Kmail to logon to the server?
Both are running 10.2 (boxed) with all updates.

Very much appreciate the key to success.  My wife is getting antsy to
get her mail!
