Thanks Michael!!

I need to make my box's FQDN the same as my SSL and mail server (in the client). I have them out of sync... this is all new to me so as I configured everything I did not know what to expect. I'm hoping that is the case.

Thanks!!  I'll let you know.

Being a network dude, I always say start at the network ports.  Can
you ping and telnet to the ports you expect to, and verify ports are
open you expect?  If you can connect to ports, it's verifiable not the
network or firewall.

Rest is auth to the application service or daemon (smtp/pop/imap) if
you can make a socket connection to tcp/25, 110, 143, etc.  If you
open basic imap/pop/smtp without encryption, you can interact and test
with telnet alone to send/receive.  Start there, once those work, move
up to encrypted sockets to build on once unencrypted works.

Hi,

I was able to get my home server to work for the most part.  I think
I
need to make a few more adjustments.

I have Postfix and Dovecot configured and I can send email but not
receive.  Nothing in the mail logs.

I am trying to connect using Thunderbird.

Config:

IMAP port 993 / ssl/TLS / Normal Password / username :
[email protected] and password that is in
/etc/dovecot/dovecot-users

SMTP port 25 / STARTTLS / Normal Password / username :
[email protected] and password that is in
/etc/dovecot/dovecot-users

Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks!!
