Hi there, I'm trying to setup the mail server on Mac OS X Server. Due to my configuration I have some special setting that causes me some problem...

I recently changed my ISP. This new ISP only gives me 1 email adress. Also, recently with Apple's new .Mac scheme, I "lost" my iTool mac account (if I can say so) I won't blame apple on this...

I then said to myself "heck, I run a Mac OS X Server " I bought it to run PHP and MySQL on it but it also has a mail server on it, then why not use the mail server for yourself ? I'm not an expert with configuring web server. I did a research on Mac OS X Server at school but I couldn't configure the mail server back then since my research was based on the web services and not email services...

The big problem is that my ISP uses PPPoE, hence I have a dynamic IP Addresse. So I used a ".dyndns.org" domain name. It woks like a cham for my websites.

But when it comes to the mail server, I have some problem configuring it...

I've been able to send mail using one of the account on the server, I've also been able to send email to those accounts BUT I've been unable to read this account's email it received...

I know that the account received mail by looking at the server's status...

Is there anything special I need to configure in order to be able to read those email ?

I'd like to use POP mail if possible (which I think would be easier to backup mail if needed).

Any help would be appreciated.

I actually saw an article about this yesterday on Mac OS X Hints. Here's the link:

Web and Mail Server

Hope it helps.

I read the article and found some interesting things (like having my own domain name "hosted" by dyndns.org)

I also saw something about reading "unix" mail in the terminal. I'll try that when I come back home tonight.

Thanks for your help.
