My email server is running on Lotus Domino R5 and I want to download all the emails from there to my woody box( and read them using Mutt).

Yes! this may be the problem. but sice this is my workstation I can't have all the user ids that are in my email server has. There should be some way of authentication methode to do this from my email server. I have a another machine (Woody) which has KMail configured and it's working fine with the setup( where Exim is not installed). I think this is something wrong in my exim.conf, Any idea? Thanks!
