hello friends.


I am using rh9. i want to setup pop3 for dovecot.

i have downloaded the rpm for dovecot for rh9

dovecot-0.99.14-1.0.rh9.rf.i386.rpm

i have opened /etc/dovecot.conf file and given the following line

protocols = pop3 pop3s

i have restarted dovecot service.

it works fine.


i have configured evolution to accept mails for root user.

i have given my ip as the server ip for pop3(for recieving mails)

but when i press send/recieve button it says can't connect to pop3 server on 192.168.1.2(which is my ip)

i have checked whether the service in xinetd is disabled or not

the file(pop3s) is as follows

service pop3s
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/ipop3d
log_on_success += HOST DURATION
log_on_failure += HOST
disable = no
}

I have the services file in xinet.d as follows

service services
{
type = INTERNAL UNLISTED
port = 9098
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
disable = yes
only_from = 127.0.0.1
}

Please help me to configure pop3 to recieve incoming mails using evolution client.

Wiating for ur replies.

Thanking U.
