Is dovecot set up to listen on the public IP?

Yes I beileve so.

isn't virtualmin <b>Pro</b> supposed to allow downloading of email
right out of the box?
as when you create an account it tells you the pop and smtp details?

Cheers

Hey Colin,

Yes, Virtualmin Professional should have configured Dovecot appropriately for receiving mail via POP and IMAP, and open the firewall ports needed for those services.

What's in the /var/log/maillog (or /var/log/mail.log on Debian/Ubuntu) when you attempt to retrieve mail?

Hi Joe,

I ended up re-imaging my server and went through the install again.
all is working now.
I also had to allow dovecot to allow plaintext authentication in non-SSL mode.

Thankyou again

Colin
