Xinitd was not configed correctly so I changed some option now I can connect but qpopper tells me mij password is not correct.

Code: Select all

There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected. Account: '192.168.1.2', Server: '192.168.1.2', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR [AUTH] PAM authentication failed for user "remmelt": Authentication failure (7)', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92

Do I have to add my self to pop user list or some thing?
