A syntax problem here? You'd want to use "su -" so that you get root's path. Using "su" alone does not get you root's path. That isn't the problem here, however. imap does not need to be running for pop3 to work. Did you configure a firewall when you did the install on this machine? Try "su -" and then "lokkit" which will allow you to see and modify any firewall settings. If you set your secutiry setting to the default of "high" initially, then the firewall won't allow pop3 connections. You need to allow connections to port 110 for pop3. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0|9 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/en/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFACqA1n/07WoAb/SsRAqKLAJ4vNr39hj6ohHHJ9rxhMTfFYsm/uQCff4BU t0G+uTMLa+UzEsF1tSX7aj4= =3bmk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
