Try using the services option in Fedora Core. To access it, do
Applications -> System Settings -> Server Settings -> Services. This enables you to choose which services or servers to start when you boot up your system. You can also do it from the command line as follows #chkconfig dovecot on This will make dovecot start when you reboot. To start it immediately without a reboot do #service dovecot start Hope this helps. |

for u reply.i ahve made the chnages as i said.and started the service dovecot restart it is showing imap is started but no idea about pop.i have checked with chkconfig --list command it is not showing pop is started. so can u tell me wht shall i do |
I'm not familiar with dovecot, but I think your best bet is to go to the dovecot website or search on google.

dovecot as pop3
u have to enable pop3 in dovecot .conf
In FC3 u will find dovecot.conf and uncomment the lines for pop3 logins protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s The below two lines are very important if u do this what ever service u will running dovecot will start that service. If u want imap it will start imap and if u want pop3 it will start pop3 imap_listen = * pop3_listen = * imaps_listen = pop3s_listen = #ssl_disable = no ########enable it for ssl ssl_disable = yes #ssl_cert_file = /usr/share/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem #### enable it for ssl #ssl_key_file = /usr/share/ssl/private/dovecot.pem #### enable it for ssl #ssl_parameters_file = /var/run/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat #####enable it for ssl #ssl_parameters_file = /var/run/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat #####enable it for ssl #disable_plaintext_auth = yes # for ssl disable_plaintext_auth = no Enable this line in dovecot for pop3 server login = pop3 login_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_extra_groups = mail default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir #### for Maildir/ style op3_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 pop3_use_modules = no pop3_modules = /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd ### /etc/passwd auth_passdb = pam auth_user = root auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@ After doing this do this telnet localhost 110 if it shows dovecot ok ready Then try with email clients for errors see /var/log/maillog and also include mail.err in /etc/syslog.conf |
