The full set, if you include the secure versions too is: courier_imap_imapd_ssl_enable="YES" courier_imap_imapd_enable="YES" courier_imap_pop3d_ssl_enable="YES" courier_imap_pop3d_enable="YES" It's worth reading /usr/local/etc/rc.d/blah.sh for any port you install. inetd is not the right way to start these ports. Then to start them up without a reboot, do /usr/local/etc/rc.d/blah.sh start But you do need the rc.conf entries first. > > I have been pulling my hair out for weeks trying to setup my first > mail server using how toos from high5.net and workaround.org. > > I have tried to look in /var/log for any log files that could indicate > why I can not pick up mail.

If courier is running, you'll get something like: #telnet localhost 110 Trying ::1... Connected to your.host.name.com. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Hello there. Telnetting to the port is good because you can then talk pop/imap and diagnose any other probs.
