Postfix doesn't do POP or IMAP, just SMTP and such (AFAIK).

I figured it out.

sudo postfix start
sudo chmod 777 /var/mail (So that Thunderbird can write its lock file.)

Configure Thunderbird for POP using usern...@localhost for the account and localhost as the incoming and outgoing servers.

Quit Thunderbird.

Edit the user's Thunderbird profile.js to change the "mail.server.server2.type" from "pop3" to "movemail"

Start Thunderbird and enjoy.



Can one do this with Win7?
