Postfix, mySQL and bad POP3 password help.

Hi,

I'm attempting to configure a server running multiple virtual mail domains following the [url=http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml]Postfix Guide[url] in the Gentoo User Docs section.

At the end of step three (Courier-IMAP configuration) mail for the primary domain is being delivered correctly and can be retrieved using any POP3 client. However, when I get done with step 10 (SASL, SSL, and mySQL) email is being delivered correctly but I'm unable to retrieve mail using a POP3 client. I get an error stating that my password is not accepted and the login failed.

That guide has many configurations files, which I've checked over very carefully, yet I seem to be missing something. Can anyone give me any hints as to why the POP3 authentication may not be recognizing / accepting my password? I'd be happy to post whatever configuration files you wish to see, just let me know what ones.

Thank you!
Gabe Stevens, MI

could it be that you're not configuring the client to use SSL

I should have stated that in my initial post, I've tried it both ways and in both cases it doesn't accept my password.
