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,

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
