I've been going through the gentoo virtual mail howto and can't seem to get past the courier-imap section. I can recieve mail directly through my maildir directory, but when I try the pop or imap setups, I keep getting login failed errors.
Check to see that authdaemond is running, since that needs to functioning for it work.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I put in my correct user password. I believe that the courier-imapd, courier-imapd-ssl, courier-pop3d and courier-pop3d-ssl daemons are supposed to check the /etc/passwd (or /etc/shadow) file(s) to authorize, so it should let me connect with my normal login/password, right?
You said you were going through the virtual mail how-to, which includes setting up authentication against a mysql database -- is mysql running? And did you make entries for your user in the mysql database?
