You need to give us a *lot* more information than "I'm unable to
receive mail..."
For example:
1. You haven't told us whether the tcpserver in your qmail-pop3d/run
is running. Is it?
2. You haven't told us what happens when you try and connect to the
POP port. What does happen?
3. You haven't shown us what gets logged. What is logged?
4. Oh, and you haven't told us whether you followed instructions
exactly when setting up qmail-pop3d/run. Do the instructions really
say to use POP3 in uppercase?
Regards.
