how to start pop3 service in fedora core 3 and 2 using dovecot
hi all
i am working o fc2 and fc3.i want to start pop service.i ahve tried using cyrus-imap but i lost all the hopes on it.now i am trying using dovecot latest rpm.i dont know how to start pop service.i just changed /etc/dovecot.conf file in this i edited the protocol line as
protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s
and then uncommented the login directory paths.but i am still not able to start pop service.it is showing imap enabled but no sign of pop service.and pls let me know how to check the service is started or not.
hoping for +ve response as soon as possible
thank u reddazz
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
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
