Topic: Mail problem - Fetchmail

[Tue Hellstern]

Hi,
I have a big problem with my e-mail
I ‘am using SME 6.0 beta 3 and it has been working very fine until yesterday. I have Fetchmail install.
My mail are downloaded from my pop3 account to the serve. I can see some mails coming in to the pop3 server and the disappear it must bee my SME server downloading the mail. But I cant see the mail when I look in with my web-mail account or Outlook.

I was trying to create a extra account yesterday and after that the problem started, before that everything was working fine.

What could be wrong and what do I do??

That probably means you're not receiving any mail at all :-/ Are all the settings in the server-manager correct?

You could run manually /etc/fetchmail and see what that gives.

Hi,
My mail are downloade from the server !!! I have a Web interfase with the POP3 server and I can see the mails come ind and go out agin.

If I do /etc/fetchmail

I suspect that fetchmail is not started automatically. Check in the server-manager if you have set multidrop to "every 5 minutes" or so.
