Since Mozilla guys has dropped movemail support to Thunderbird 91.5.0 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1368508 ... derbird-91 now I'm looking for a small pop3 mail server in order to read the mail sent by Postfix to my user in /var/mail/myuser.
I'm on Debian Bullseye 11.2 and I decided to give mailutils-pop3d a try, but I'm not able to get it working, googling looks like nobody use it and I've found only GNU documentation that it doesn't help so much. https://mailutils.org/manual/html_node/ ... pop3d.html
my configuration file /etc/mailutils.conf is:
Code: Select all
auth {
# Set a list of modules for authentication.
authentication system;
# Set a list of modules for authorization.
# authorization system;
}
mailbox {
# Use specified url as a mailspool.
mail-spool /var/mail;
# Create mailbox url using pattern.
# mailbox-pattern pattern;
# Default mailbox type.
mailbox-type mbox;
# Default user mail folder.
# folder dir;
}
Code: Select all
