Im running fedora core 3 and am using cyrus as a pop3 server... the thing is ive got it to be able to recieve mail but i cant connect to the server from another computer to collect the mail because i dont know how to setup a user name and password to be able to login to my account and collect my mail....

Hope that makes sense

Please help

you have to check the domain name of your pop3 server and in your mail client configure it for each mail account

Thats the problem i dont know how to create my mail accounts

Any Ideas

I found this on a Google search..

"Cyrus can use different SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer) mechanisms, the default being sasldb (it stores usernames and passwords in the SASL secrets file sasldb), but also getpwent, kerberos4, kerberos5, PAM, rimap, shadow and LDAP are supported.

Since I don't want to define users/passwords different than the ones that access my Linux® box I choose then “shadow” mechanism so Cyrus will use Linux® passwords for authenticate."

Depending on where you want usernames & passwords stored will depend on how to add them..
"shadow" will allow existing linux users to access cyrus
"sasldb" users are added with the command cyradm --user username

cool thanks
Ill give it a go
