Well, in any new mailserver setup '/var/log/maillog' is your friend and should give you some things to look at if the service is running and listening properly. I don't know enough about dovecot imap as all my server's are courier but there are usually a few different scripts that need to be in place/renamed for the daemon to start properly.
Make sure 'netsat -a' shows a listening pop3 port on your server. You can even narrow your search by doing [netstat -a | grep -e 'pop'] Those are things to start with. Last edited by bsd-n-tux-rules : March 21st, 2008 at 12:18 PM.
