Hey

I purchased an License for Virtualmin Pro last night.  
The install with smoothly and i had the system up within in minutes.  
Loved it, never had an install so smoothly but i have one issue.

I can not authenticate via POP.  
IMAP works and sending mail via SMTP works.  
POP wont for some reason.

I modified any of the files as yet.  
I have added 3 domains to the system.  
The setup is a vigin Ubuntu 6.06 LTS fully updated running the latest Virtualmin.

Am i missing something?

Its all good now.  
Worked out my issue.  
I read over this [thread](http://www.virtualmin.com/forums/help-home-for-newbies/how-do-you-get-your-email.html) and the fixed worked for me.

What’s in the mail.log when you try to authenticate?

Oops…that’s what I get for clicking send after walking away from the computer for a while. Good to hear you got it figured out.
