I have 2 domains, domain1.com and domain2.com.hk
Both are running and working.
For domain1.com I can get mail on mx.domain1.com with my pop3 client.
For mx.domain2.com.hk I get "error: invalid user name or password" - when I try to login the mailbox from my pop3 client. Both is correct though. Webmail works outgoing, or internally within my VPS.
How can I fix that?
We gotta see some logs.
Also, make sure you’re actually using the right username–look in the Mail and FTP Users page in the POP3/FTP Login field.
Usernames are correct.
where do I get the logs?
I reinstalled the O/S yet again. Sounds complicated, but I am getting really fast.
The problem remains. mx.domain1.com is not problem, I can mail to, and login the mailbox.
mx.domain2.com.hk still can receive only internal mail.
Mails to anyaddress@domain2.com.hk bounce right away:

Could that be related to the domain2.com.hk DNS? But strangely, the website works fine
The logs are in /var/log/maillog.
So, I’d expect the message you’re receiving above if those addresses and/or aliases weren’t setup.
Are you sure you have addresses/aliases for all the above emails created?
For example, if you log into Virtualmin, and go into Edit Mail Aliases, you see aliases in there include abuse, hostmater, webmaster, postmaster, and the like for domain2.com.hk?
-Eric
Here is my /var/log/maillog
What seems strange is, mx.domain1.com I can access via pop3. mx.domain2.com.hk I can not access, but it’s there. I can access it with usermin (or SSH telnet localnets 143 ), but when using pop3 I get wrong/user password error and mail from other PCs bounces.

Don’t bother to think about it (for now)!
Seems that after migrating the domain IP there are still fragments glued to the old IP address.
there is sill webadmin.domain1.com (which should not be there) and I can still login there. That one working email is there too. Seems by coincident I created the same login and pwd.
So for the working pop3 the mx.domain1.com is probably on the old server (even though the mx IP resolves correctly to my new domain).
I will ask my host to fix that and then see if it works.
Ok, it works now, I can receive mail, but it looks funny. Is it
supposed to look like that? Here is the info, for way of easy I
just use one domain:
mydomain.com has also mx.mydomain.com (which resolves to the IP
of mx.myVPShost.comm that should be ok)
POP3 check on mx.mydomain.com with test@mydomain.com to my mailbox gives me a:
error: invalid user name or password
But, I can login and get mails with:
test.mydomain as user and usermydomain.com as mailserver
Is it supposed to be like that? That works for both my domains.

Of course it’s supposed to be like that. That’s what’s in the Login field on the page I mentioned, right? Then that’s what’s supposed to work. 
Username format is configurable, though user@domain.tld format is not recommending for a few reasons (covered in the FAQ, along with an additional configuration step that you generally have to perform to make saslauth accept usernames in that format).
This indicates your mail client ended the connection before finishing the authentication process. You might try a different mail client, just for testing.
Same problem with Thunderbird…
I am puzzled why 2 accounts are working and one not. I have one theory: Domain3 had a "-" in it. Could that be a problem?
ok, I was thinking and playing and trying… and found something:
domain-3something.com is the domain. The user is domain-3something - but the group is domain-3something.com (on virtuozzo)
I tried logging in with user.domain-3something.com and not with user.domain-3something as with the other domains - and it worked.
I will try to correct that. If it doesn’t work I just leave it like that now.
Thanks, that explains it. However, I still have problems with domain3.com login, where I have a constant "error: authentication failed"
This is the maillog error:
