Hi, I am making progress. I configured Thunderbird like the tutorial shows : http://www.krizna.com/ubuntu/setup-mail-server-ubuntu-14-04/ it is about half way down the page. Ports 110 and 587 I was able to send to an email account on another server. When that account replies the email goes out like normal. /var/log/mail.log there is about 100 lines added (I set smtpd_tls_loglevel = 4 so I could see everything) these are the very last lines Oct 11 13:58:01 My-Host-name-goes-here postfix/smtpd[6467]: disconnect from Sending-FQDN-goes-here[IP-goes-here] Oct 11 13:58:01 My-Host-name-goes-here postfix/local[6474]: 243C790093E: to=, relay=local, delay=0.16, delays=0.12/0/0/0.03, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to maildir) Oct 11 13:58:01 My-Host-name-goes-here postfix/qmgr[6269]: 243C790093E: removed Looks like it was delivered locally. There is no email in /home/user-name/Maildir/new My home directory is 755 and owned by me. Maildir is 700 and owned by me new is 700 and owned by me When I use Thunderbird to retrieve email, Thunderbird cycles with no error and no messages are in my inbox. /var/log/mail.log has two lines: Oct 11 13:53:07 My-Host-name-goes-here dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=, method=PLAIN, rip=my-gatway-ip, lip=ip-of-the-box, mpid=6464, TLS, session= Oct 11 13:53:07 My-Host-name-goes-here dovecot: pop3(my-use-rname-goes-here): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0 It looks like everything is working except the delivery of the email into my mail box /home/user-name/Maildir/new Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks!!
