problem: cannot retrieve mail from postfix

[cliang]

hi guys
I follow the perfect setup Fedora core 4 and install the Postfix With SMTP-AUTH And TLS. I found that I can send mail to remote user, however I can't receive mails through the evolution client of otherthings. In fact I found that the mails indeed are received and delivered in the user's maildir directory. What's more, If I use outlook under another workstation, I can't receive and send mails. Is there wrong with my mail client configuration? I use IMAP of the receiving option.

Here is the main.cf
/**************************/
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
mail_owner = postfix
inet_interfaces = all

xxgdb $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5

Please give me some suggestions.
Appreciate much for your help.

If you want to send from a remote PC, you must enable "Server requires authentication." in your email client.

Which IMAP daemon do you use? Please post the output of

netstat -tap

[cliang]

I checked that I use the imap-2002d-3, so it can't support maildir.
so I modified the main.cf, "home_mailbox = Mailbox", however it still the same.

do u have some idea to configure this? or other info?

thanks.

I solved it. After I changed that directory to default.

Whatever, thanks!
