POP3 server for email

Post by dsudar »

Hi,

Is there a simple HOW-TO on enabling the POP3 server on Bubba? I know that dovecot can do it but was hoping that someone figured out how so I won't have to.

Yes, I agree that IMAP is much nicer to use but I'm hosting my mom's email account and she is used to an email client that only supports POP3.

Thanks,
- Damir

Easy,

log in as root and edit the file
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

There is a section at the top:

# Protocols we want to be serving:
# imap imaps pop3 pop3s
protocols = imap imaps

Just add pop3 (and pop3s if you want).
After saving your change just do

/etc/init.d/dovecot force-reload

That should do the trick
