Is the client configured to pop-before-submitting? If so, don't do that.
FWIW, I only see submission authentication messages in /var/log/maillog. No pop'ing going on there.

No it was only my guess. When configuring that id in the outlook
express, I am getting the following error.

"Log onto incoming mail server(POP3): Unable to logon the incoming
mail server(POP3). Please verify the settings in the User Name,
Password and E-mail fields."

On checking the /var/log/maillog, i am getting the following error,

"vchkpw-pop3: pop access denied [EMAIL PROTECTED]:myip"

On my /var/log/qmail/pop3/current, i can find any log regarding the
users and authentication. It was filled with the handshaking logs.

Is there any thing else i can check? and how?

Thanks and Regards,
S.Senthilvel,

Dear List,
       We are having a strange problem. One of the mail id in our
domain can not be accessed via pop3. The same id can be accessed via
imap. While checking the pop3 log,

tail -f /var/log/maillog

vchkpw-pop3: pop access denied [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(all the lines for all the other users are mentioned as plain instead of
pop)

We can login into this id through browser and work without any
problem. The problem occurs only when using the outlook express or Ms
outlook. We suspect that the user "mary" may be a default user of
linux. Is there anything else we can check?

We need more information. The full logs of the transaction would help.
Is the user trying to use SSL/TLS? CRAM-MD5?
I've never heard of a default user named mary, but does on exist?
