Hi all!
I have a new problem about POP3 service.
After create a new email account in Cpanel, i have check successfully on webmail, sending& receiving are very nice
But when i use Outlook Express to check mail, there is a problem. Because SMTP server and POP server are installed in only one server, i enter the IP address of server for SMTP&POP3 server parameter in Outlook, insert username and password and done......
Click send/receive in Outlook, it notice
Account: '203.162.0.214', Server: '203.162.0.214', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Authentication failed.', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
and i can't login to my email
My SMTP is Postfix, POP3=Dovecot, I have config all as the same as guide tutorial. telnet at port 25 and 110 are good, these services are online.Also checked " Mail dir" in ISPConfig Setting

Additionaly, each account mail is a real user of OS. What the way we can use as virtual user? Real user is not good in security aspect!

Thanks for your help!

ISPConfig 2 uses linux system users only, if you want to use virtual users, you will have to use ispconfig 3.

To your authentication error, take a look in the mail log file.
